When is it time to stop?

There are such moments in life when you feel with great force that you are sleeping , that you are not, but there is someone who lives from past to future. I don’t want to raise a complex philosophical topic: why live, how to live, and who muddled the whole thing, and for what purpose (this is about life).

I just had a doubt that is difficult to overcome with my meager experience. And the doubt is how to be a little real, how to overcome the peace that society offers me, because every day I strive to increase comfort, and I strive unconsciously.

Today I caught myself thinking about the future, I gradually improve my skills as a designer, projects are becoming more and more difficult, I will change studios, my salary will grow, there will be a lot of interesting work, but do I need it ... So you can reach death, calmly and with interest ... And yet I feel that there is something more important than design, which means a lot to me and takes a lot of time ... but ... The question is whether it is really possible to stop all this, forget all that was and " wake up to life? Or are they just empty words that by the morning will mean nothing to me, and current projects, current difficulties will take my head.

P.S. Once again, I don’t want to raise eternal philosophical questions, I’m just interested in the personal experience of a fairly conscious audience of Habr.

P.S.P.S. Many thanks to everyone who shared personal experience, expressed his opinion and participated. Now it's time to move on to action.
