Meaning
This reads as a portrait of priorities, not a rejection of success. It points to a younger self shaped more by activity, discipline, and the outdoors than by status or possessions, and it can be taken to mean that ambition does not have to be material to be real. It lands for anyone who has chosen interest and routine over visible rewards.
