What more?

I'm listening to a '70s internet radio station, and feeling nostaligic. Notstalgic about the things I didn't do, the girls I didn't screw, the jobs I didn't have, the opportunities I missed.
But I'm right now, at age 51, a multi-millionaire. I have a near-wife I've been with for 15 years who loves me. I have a mistress who I've known for 20 years who would collapse if I stopped seeing her. I own property in 2 states and 2 countries. I have a professional reputation that most people would envy, I'm a key "player" in my company and industry.

What more?

Any different decision at any point in the last 30 years would have changed things, but would it have made anything better? I might have $20 million instead of $6 million. I might have a wife who gave me sex more often, jeez, like I care. Or a name in the paper 20 times instead of 10. Or a Maserati instead of a $60,000 Volvo and an airplane.

What more?

What more is this: Wanting more is Good. There are things that I will still do, mousic I will still write, video I will still produce, books I will still write, help I will give to others to make them succeed.

What more?

All because of that question. There is more. There is everything. And I want it, and will never get it. Which makes More work.
