Living Moments

Moments can be divided into two types: survival moments and living moments.

Survival moments are when our biology and psychology are convinced we are in a life-and-death situation. Fortunately, these are surprisingly rare.

Living moments are everything else. The quantity of these moments is matched in the forms they come — everything from inconsequential to breathtaking.

Some living moments feel like a crisis, filled with complexity, strong emotions, and a lack of options, but these are still part of the set of living moments.

They challenge us to navigate through discomfort, leveraging what feels like life and death as an opportunity to engage with a classy problem.
