This is the new norm

Things have changed for me. Seems like I've gotten almost everything I could have wanted out of life.

Life changes, it's the one constant you can count on. If you have "gotten everything you have wanted out of life", congratulations, many other people are so lucky. Success doesn't make you "weak" or "try any less", but if taken for granted, it can easily make one become complicit and lazy. Aging definitely can and will affect your ability to do many of the things you did in younger years with ease. If you want to get that "fire" or spark back, you need to set new goals and dreams. Life isn't a destination, it's a journey.

I don’t think there’s anything wrong in enjoying your successes and the fruits of your labor. But if you really want to try, try stuff outside your experiences and comfort zone. Meet new people who have that fire and who can inspire you into new or even old pursuits. Maybe come up with new more difficult challenges to pursue?

I dunno, these days my life is mainly working and once in awhile seeing friends. The only pursuit I seen to put much effort into is trying to make my finances secure.
