As your experiences differ and multiply, you become a different man, and hence your perspective changes.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;So it would seem foolish, would it not, to adjust our lives to the demands of a goal we see from a different angle every day?&lt;/i&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;...to put our faith in tangible goals would seem to be, at best, unwise. So we do not strive to be firemen, we do not strive to be bankers, nor policemen, nor doctors. WE STRIVE TO BE OURSELVES.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;I don&amp;#x27;t mean that we can&amp;#x27;t BE firemen, bankers, or doctors—but that we must make the goal conform to the individual, rather than make the individual conform to the goal.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;...beware of looking for goals: look for a way of life. Decide how you want to live and then see what you can do to make a living WITHIN that way of life.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;In doing this... he avoids frustrating his potential (choosing a path which puts no limit on his self-development), and he avoids the terror of seeing his goal wilt or lose its charm as he draws closer to it&lt;/i&gt;&lt;p&gt;Summary: rather than fixating on specific goals, find a way of life that maximizes your potential for self-development and lets you be your most authentic self.</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Hunter S Thompson: A Man Has to BE Something</title><url>http://www.lettersofnote.com/2016/07/your-type-is-dime-dozen.html</url></story>

No More Bombs. No More Walking. No More Fun. No More Swimming. 67. That is 17 years past 50. 17 more than I needed or wanted. Boring. I am always bitchy. No Fun — for anybody. 67. You are getting Greedy. Act your (old) age. Relax — This won&amp;#x27;t hurt.”&lt;p&gt;Really struck me in the feels.
