Great article, enjoyed it a lot. And thanks for sharing your personal story.
There was something curious coming to my mind (call it superstition):
"In for four. Hold for four. Out for four. Hold for four."
In Jungian psychology, the number four and the concept of the quaternity represent wholeness, stability, and completeness. That this was going through your head in that very moment might have been your higher Self telling you something. That article definitely is a beautiful extension of that.
This is great advice. Becker's work is very important. Ironincally, the Denial of Death may have been an evolutionary adaptive trait to get us to this point, but conversely, it may be what is keeping us from confronting the meta-crisis of our own making.
"Make sure to have your bags packed" is brilliant, I don't think I'll ever forget that line. I'm gonna use it with my kids when they get older :) Immediate sub!
Wow. There is so much here. LOVE this! “Your tolerance for bullshit approaches zero. Life's too short for meetings that should have been emails or relationships that drain more than they give.” Is great! There are so many amazing nuggets to unpack here. Thank you!! 💙

Thank you Mrs. Burla! World-class grammar instruction from middle school is still paying dividends :)
