Fun
Actualization of vision begins at the end. Don’t stop until you arrive. Have fun along the way between here and there. Working towards a vision is actually more fun (sustained for long periods of time!), compared with that single instant of apex completion.
Are you having fun yet / STILL)? Train your brain not to hurry or worry. Mastery surely follows from repetitive applications of any spiritual meditation practice.
How could anything matter more or less than anything else? Assuming you realize (an a-ha epiphany), wherever you go, there you are, exactly only and always in every actual universe, and it remains exactly now, perpetually refreshed (never a repeat).

In a strange mystical mysterious ineffable wondrous way, since you start at the end with vision in mind, and every instant of time is exactly the same now, perpetually refreshed, begin and end are actually entangled and cannot be experienced as atomic isolated separated state conditions. Begin and end are irrevocably entangled and literally exist simultaneously which is non-dimensional, independent of location and time duration. Like every point on a Möbius loop is simultaneously begin and end and you get to choose which direction to move! To get to your destination, your only real freedom is which step to take next and which direction to go. You cannot, not take the next step. Why not have fun along the way, not allowing your enjoyment to be determined by external circumstances, but rather by your internal state of ego consciousness over which you have maximum influence.
Continue to bestow meaning (of course, how could you not?), but realize you have the freedom to interpret meaning in a positive or negative way, and surely you have discovered all good and bad things, necessarily lead into other good and bad things (no one can stop now!). You can be happy even if the world is sad.
If you are not training your brain with some chosen meditation practice, get started today. The benefits arrive quickly, especially if you choose (freewill) to look for the good things, rather than focusing your attention on all the bads.
