I subscribe to this philosophy. I think about it a lot. I strive to live my life in this way. In fact, I'm going to print it out and post it on my wall.
If you can help with one thing, though: how do you view this in the current framework of climate collapse? What I mean is, IS the future infinite? I don't think it is ... for humans here on earth and many other species we are decimating, as well as the oceans, sky, earth herself.
How I've been finding peace with it is to think / believe that the earth will live on, once we humans have killed ourselves off. Just a small spark of life can spawn multitudes.
I also believe that Indigenous people and their wisdom may be the path to survival. I hope they do survive the damage Western thought and "civilization" has wrought. It would be a great and true outcome.
