See life as an experience, not a competition. None of your successes and failures matter within a big enough perspective, and that perspective can extend indefinitely. Your redemption arc is the ending of your life in the end, for all of us.

It's called Counsels and Maxims and it's the second part of Aphorisms on the wisdom of life. I suggest you to read because it's short and comfy. He starts off with this:
>THE FIRST AND FOREMOST RULE for the wise conduct of life seems to me to be contained in a view to which Aristotle parenthetically refers in the Nichomachean Ethics:1 [Greek: o phronimoz to alupon dioke e ou to aedu] or, as it may be rendered, not pleasure, but freedom from pain, is what the wise man will aim at. The truth of this remark turns upon the negative character of happiness,—the fact that pleasure is only the negation of pain, and that pain is the positive element in life.
The rest is basically an elaboration on this theme.

Stop being dissapointed of how the laws of physics limit us and you'll have all the things in the world to think about which are not boring.
