Four Thousand Weeks – Quote 168

Once you’ve cleared the decks, you tell yourself; or once you’ve implemented a better system of personal organization, or got your degree, or invested a sufficient number of years in honing your craft; or once you’ve found your soulmate or had kids, or once the kids have left home, or once the revolution comes and social justice is established—*that’s* when you’ll feel in control at last, you’ll be able to relax a bit, and true meaningfulness will be found.
