Listen my good man. Life is short. Realize that first. It will make some choices much easier.

I tend to use a life barometer, where I set my expectation for how long i hope to live.

From there on i try to make some choices. Not right of the bat. I use some time to stabilize the thoughts to pinpoint the near exact feeling i wish to obtain.

I have during the last 10 years found out by doing this that my ultimate feeling for being happy is freedom as a state of mind.

I use 20-30% of time sailing my sailboat and riding my bike. I sleep at least 7 hours every day and work 5-6 hours a day.

I run a small consultancy company and hope i can do so until i am at least 70. I like to work, not hard, but towards goals which are not bound on pitential financial gains.

Live your life and take it in.
