Some of your best work, my man! We are human beings, but sometimes we forget how to do the "being" part. My friend always tells me, we have a right to simply exist, a very hard concept to grapple with.

Thanks! Means a lot - and I totally agree, I often try to reorient myself to "being" vs doing. We're enough simply for the sake of existing, there's nothing we need to do to earn that right

That’s a fascinating new way to think about this theater called life. Along the same lines, this week I heard someone say he’d rather live life like Dungeons & Dragons or any other role-play game Vs a typical video game. Instead of treating it as something you can win or lose, maybe it’s more about developing a character, building community, and living rich experiences. I kinda like that!

Love that! That's a fun framing on process vs. outcome and making the objective function the experience itself
