So our goal is set in a way. And now comes the next realization. Just because your goal is set, doesn't mean this life is going to give you exactly what you're looking for.

And at some point I said to myself, okay, now it's becoming too full. Let's start to settle down a bit. Let's start to stay a little bit more in the background. But then still like requests coming in still. And then you were thinking, how come this one still... But ultimately, it's really up to you. How much do you really want it?

which means at some point before it's time for you to go, you will be faced with the fact of learning the necessity of letting go of what you have attained in this lifetime.
