Just be thankful that you are "enjoying" your "carrot" and not chasing it. That seems to be the prevailing way in our culture today.
Me? I am chasing the hell out of it! It's part of my enjoyment.

I'm enjoying my carrot, not necessarily because I worked all my life or all that hard for it, but because I decided to do so. People are too caught up in keeping up with the Jones's and trying to put up a front to appear as something they are not.
I simply realized that it was more rewarding to change the way I lived vs trying to "get more". Most people are caught up with trying to afford a bigger house or nicer car, I instead took a different approach and realized the fastest way to double my income was to cut my expenses in half.
I now work when I feel like it, not because I have to and I pretty much do what I want to do. Today I hiked 10 miles in the mountains before noon and tomorrow I'll probably do it again. I'm trying to get myself in shape, because I'm toying with the idea of doing a through hike of the Appalachian Trail starting next spring. It's that or head to Alaska, I haven't decided yet.
