The realization you reached is definitely a step in the right direction, our current life style encourages us to be busy (superficially or otherwise) and allot of people feel guilty just for thinking that they need to stop and take a break.

Taking some time off to reflect and to evaluate your life’s journey is important, I believe that we as a society should do this from time to time, unfortunately most of us cannot afford to do that due to the constraints of our day to day lives.

There is good news though, there is much more to achieve beyond what society considers to be the measures of success these days, there are many real challenges that still need to be solved, from your post I assume you have a wealth of experiences which have helped you to get to where you are currently so maybe using your experience to help solve some of the world’s real challenges could give you a real fulfilling goal to aspire to?

Best of luck ☺
