I'm guilty of trying to live larger in many ways to the detriment of other things that are important. Reading this article was a good reminder to consider where and how I spend my time - then live with more intention.

Thanks for the beautiful piece. Applies in almost every context and setting. One more way this intersects with is Energy allocation. Energy is finite and we need to have the right allocation of it. Any over/under indexing can make the cart look or go tipsy-turvy. The hedonic mindset is unable to make a distinction between is it necessary or not necessary, with a myriad of social/societal pressures around us. The ability to understand and then discern about many such things in many situations either don't occur to people or occur late (admittedly me being one). But then saving grace is Better Late than Never. Keep sharing and writing, I hope I can write on Every someday.
