“A naively formulated goal transmutes, with time, into the sinister form of the life-lie.  One forty-something client told me his vision, formulated by his younger self: ‘I see myself retired, sitting on a tropical beach, drinking margaritas in the sunshine.’ That’s not a plan.  That’s a travel poster.  After eight margaritas, you’re fit only to await the hangover.  After three weeks of margarita-filled days, if you have any sense, you’re bored stiff and self-disgusted.  In a year, or less, you’re pathetic.  It’s just not a sustainable approach to later life.” ~ Jordan Peterson, via 12 Rules for Life (Page 210)
