For the sort of potential that a human being carries, it is a very brief life.

What you can count is of minimal importance in life. What you cannot count, that really counts.  

Your life and how you experience it is entirely your making. Only if this absolutely sinks in, will you make the necessary changes.

I am not racing with anyone, but definitely going at full throttle, in every aspect of my life.

Do not make life decisions based on immediate compulsions. Looking back after many years, it should still be a worthwhile choice.
