Social norms are really powerful. The inputs that influence you are really powerful. A great video, talk, or book can convince you that you should be acting and thinking like that.
But the worst thing in life would be a death-bed regret that you’ve spent your life pursuing what someone said you should want, instead of what you really want.
For example, if you really want to make a lot of money, you need to admit that.
If you really want to be famous, you need to pursue that.
If you really want freedom and no responsibilities, or to learn as much as possible, or whatever else, you need to realize it and embrace it.
But whatever you decide, you need to optimize for that, and be willing to let go of the others.
