I think at a relatively young age, I started having existential crises. Eventually I stopped fighting the darkness and accepted a lack of a god or afterlife, and accepted the ephemeral nature of life.

As a result, It motivated me to reframe what it meant for my life to have purpose. I instead started focusing really hard on not making my short amount of time go to waste. I wanted to work on things that had a positive impact on the world, keep humanity evolving intellectually and technologically, hopefully decreasing suffering in the process and more recently I've prioritized building wealth for my future family. We just had a baby and I'm realizing the next important thing I can do is set my son up to have what he needs to make more of a positive impact than I have.
