Brilliant framing here. The idea that we're in survival mode during what we later recognize as peak meaningfulness is such a paradox. I've noticed this whenit comes to daily routines too, how the tedious bedtime rituals or morning chaos actually become the rhythm we miss most. The alarm suggestion is clever because it fights against that autopilot where life happens to us instead of us showing up to it.
I really loved your “little doors into their lives” line. Taking real pleasure in someone else’s joy is something I want to get better at, and the phone alarm tip is brilliant. Thank you for sharing this perspective. I’ll be thinking about it long after reading.
I am right here in this season. Thanks for this. I need the redirection.
