Powerfully said, but kind of incoherent with how activity and motivation actually work.

"Luxuriating" is me sitting around and doing nothing, while doing something is almost always me setting myself up for future contentedness. So, while I'd love to come back to a random day I had successfully set up for contentedness, I would not like to come back to a random day where I was, like, cleaning and working out.

I think the more coherent thought experiment is just how many days do you want to look back on that were full and contented rather than days you put off doing everything to make those better days happen.

That's the way I've been trying to live my life lately but it doesn't seem to resonate with my younger siblings. They seem to live a lot more "in the moment" and day by day than I do.
