This somewhat paradoxical approach that you describe has become enormously important to me over the past few years.
It leaves me excited for the future as I explore the possibilities that life may provide, but very grounded and aware of the immense fragility.
As a spec on a tiny ball of dirt floating in space, I shouldn't be surprised when the wind knocks me over. But I should at least try to get back up, as it seems there are many interesting things and meaningful experiences out there awaiting me.
