STOPPED KEEPING SCORE

If someone offered you the life you dreamed about five years ago, would you be happy? Daniel got the promotion. Then the car. Then the next trip. He wasn’t miserable. He just could not feel satisfied. One rainy evening in a small coffee shop, an older man said something that moved the finish line back where it belonged.
