Life’s Work
If this is the only thing you ever accomplish in your life, would you still do it ?
This is a question you can ask yourself to verify if what you are working on is your life’s work.
It’s a very high bar, so it’s ok if the answer is No. But try to move in the direction of yes. It’s usually not clear when you start working on something. But as you go deeper, and the answer remain a no for years on end, it’s time to re-evaluate things.
