There is no prize for reaching the destination too depleted to experience it.

Arriving is not the same as receiving. If you get to the thing you worked for with nothing left in you, the moment passes through without registering, and you find yourself already looking for the next target because this one gave you nothing. Depletion does not just cost energy, it costs the ability to feel what you earned. That is a strange way to be repaid for years of effort.

As you approach something you have been working toward, plan the arrival as carefully as the work. Leave room around it. Being present for it is part of the goal, not a luxury added afterwards.
