The Examined Life

NOTE

Moments of Joy: Dancing with Dragons and Trying Little Experiments

When you find moments of joy and excitement, embrace them and be gentle with yourself. Write down your desires and let them dance with you. Don't shut them down or feel the need to take immediate action. Try little experiments to explore your interests. For example, write down your dream of opening an aquarium shop and show it love. Keep a record of these desires and notice when they show up. Don't wait for complete information to act, just try small experiments. For instance, try sailing on a sailboat to see if you enjoy it. Life is about exploring and having fun!
