You say that like it's a good thing. You may want to reconsider.
Also, always have a project. Something to aim for for a couple of years that stands out from the rest of your life. It can be anything. Building a house, raising a small child, starting a company, diving deep into a hobby, switching to an entirely different line of work for some time (I enjoyed teaching!), etc.
This may keep your inner adventurer happy, and makes for an interesting life to look back on.
