There are times of going along with the flow, and there are momentous periods that disproportionally impact space and time. I feel like you only recognize the latter once you’re in it, when experiencing the transition.

If you asked me to look back on my life and pick out the most impactful moments, I might struggle to identify specific events. But you know when you’re in it; you can feel the transition shaping what’s to come.

I do believe success in many ways derives from persistence during the monotonous grind of good habits and choices over a long period of time, but life’s significance seems to originate from the other. Those transitionary times that stand apart, they define who we become and what mark we leave on the universe.
