That's an interesting story about how you came to focus on long-term goals. I wonder how many other people have similar stories. I predict that people have a wide variety of stories about how their goals and values evolved. Is the rest of your post written for people who have a similar story to you? If so, it will be of limited use to people who don't have a similar story. And if you believe that many people have a similar story, you should have evidence for that.
