“The reset is not the cure. It is the management — the daily, available, honest practice of returning to the perspective she has chosen rather than the one that assembled itself while she was not looking.”

“She asked one better question and the day shifted. Not dramatically. Noticeably. The question was: what is actually going well right now? The answer required looking but was findable.”
