I call this orientation "leaning into life" rather than being a passenger. Great opening post Ben!

“When we ignore these things, we sink further and further under life’s comforter and center ourselves in the bed we should be working to get out of. It’s only after we force ourselves—or are forced—awake and realize something. We've missed what we needed to change. We should have risen earlier and valued our time and energy. 

Your soul will revolt when you're not pursuing what you're meant to do.”

I love how you also stated that we are to reintroduce excitement. We’re always driven by purpose, and it doesn’t always mean it’s easy, but something we work for. Thank you for giving me a perspective of gratitude in the process.
