The best feeling you can have
I was sitting around and doing some work, and it hit me. This is the best feeling there is. It's the height of existence. Paradoxically, it's the opposite of what we all chase. Everyone wants the easy wins and the pleasures of life.
Successful people say they miss the times they had to struggle.
What hit me was a combination of having the big picture in mind, being in the zone, and having taken so many steps leading up to this moment. I had this feeling that I can take on any challenge that might arise in that activity.
To get this feeling, it's straightforward, but requires a lot of work and discipline.

Narrowing down, what is this chapter of your life about? How do you change and what defines you?
Lastly, what do you need to do right now to align with the bigger picture?
Then, it's about being fully engaged in the process right now, about always doing something difficult but not impossible.
