Critical excerpt:
If this exercise fails you today, that's okay. What matters is that you establish a routine of periodic self-assessment. That's the takeaway of this post: We fundamentally change over time, but it's not obvious that we have unless we pause to self-assess. If we're lazy and just ride life's momentum, we're likely to regret how we spend our years.
