Life is lived from the bottom up.

As much as our intellect may crave top-down understanding or our ego may wish to impose a rigid structure of meaning, life doesn't organize itself as such.

We are creatures of now: everything happens in the present. You do things by actively engaging with them, and continuing. A year's worth of progress happens one day at a time.

If you are ever to "make sense of life", you must do it from the bottom up. Figuring out how to navigate your way through waking experience IS the game. Make sense of the day, and you will start to make sense of your life.
