The Freedom of Finitude
Profound liberation comes from embracing what we desperately resist: limitation itself. Modern anxiety stems from believing we should accommodate everything valuable within our finite lives. This impossible expectation creates perpetual disappointment.
The alternative isn't better scheduling but radical acceptance: you will miss out on nearly everything worth doing. Once this truth settles, freedom emerges. No longer compelled to experience everything, you can fully inhabit the experiences you actually choose.
What appears as surrender becomes strength; what feels like constraint becomes clarity. The recognition of finitude doesn't diminish life but intensifies it, transforming time from enemy to cherished resource.
