“The purpose isn't to make every moment meaningful. It's to be present for the moments that are already meaningful.”

I’ve been thinking a lot about this lately. I have been putting the phone down a lot more and just trying to take things in.

Also - I’m in crunch time in my current project and at first read the name of this post as “What If The Purpose Is Just to Go Live?”

😂 the purpose can definitely be to just to go live

but as you can imagine this is also on my mind a lot lately as i find myself feeling the pressure to take in more clients, do something that scales, etc.

thank you for sharing this so openly, caroline! and i'm so so so sorry for your loss.

"What is a life if it’s not actually *lived*? If we spend all our time chasing the future, not in the present, with people we care about doing things we love that aren’t just work?"

- this! 100%!!! where is the line between wanting to be successful in my career and just wanting to enjoy the sunshine with friends? is a question i ask myself more and more these days.
