So much actionable wisdom packed into one essay, Kyle. Thank you! You remind me of Hans Selye’s important distinction between “eustress” (eu = good) and “distress”. Most of us have a “stress: bad” mindset which your writing tries to correct.
Wonderful to see you start off at the 20K foot level of PURPOSE. How else can we separate the important from the merely urgent and focus on what advances our mission in life. Time for me to dust off my purpose statement!
Ha! My purpose/mission statement is about the same as yours Kyle (great minds think alike!): Be a good husband and father, take good care of my own mental and physical health, and be kind/helpful to others. Requires daily attention to even come close, right?

I’d love to see what that statement is! Thank you brother. Intent for me is always to start conceptual and then dive into the practical.

Beautiful. It sure does! Moments sometimes attempt to pull me away. The sentence brings me back.
Don't just get through the day, embrace meaning in existence and offer at least one kindness.

Personal mission statement: To continuously push past fear and grow into the strongest version of myself.
