The problem, often not discovered until late in life, is that when you look for things in life like love, meaning, motivation, it implies they are sitting behind a tree or under a rock. The most successful people in life recognize, that in life they create their own love, they manufacture their own meaning, they generate their own motivation.
For me, I am driven by two main philosophies, know more today about the world than I knew yesterday. And lessen the suffering of others. You’d be surprised how far that gets you.

Your favourite quote
I don’t have a specific favourite, but one of my favourites is this one by Marcus Aurelius:
“The happiness of our lives depends on the quality of our thoughts.”
I often think that the happiest people are not the most wealthy, or the most beautiful, or the most successful, but the ones who love others as much as they love themselves, who are humble, positive thinkers and the ones who have the greatest peace of mind.
