In any job or career, it’s easy to get caught up in comparisons and lose sigh of what matters or what you enjoy. Pay attention to what you are chasing because, in the end, you just might get it. And the cost of that success might come at the expense of the things that really matter.

“Never risk what you have and need,” wrote Warren Buffett, “for what we don’t have and don’t need.” In pursuit of our goals, we inevitably give up things that matter. We sleep less. We spend less time with our friends. We eat unhealthily. We skip workouts. We cancel dates. We miss dinner with the family.
