Are we getting to the good part?

I had a thought this morning about "getting to the good part." It comes at a time of exciting business things happening, the closing of a major personal open loop, craziness in the White House and geopolitical news, and also a bigger movement happening that's hard to put into words.

There were two things that came up with this thought that felt worth sharing.

1. It feels like we are in between the old and the new. We know we no longer want the old, and yet we're not quite at the new just yet. But we can taste it. We long for it. And it's coming. I've felt this for me personally, some close friends, and society in general in a way. It's exciting. And it's frustrating.
2. On the flip side of that, if we were truly "getting to the good part," that would imply that things aren't good now. And I categorically reject that. Things are not perfect, not even close. There's always opportunity to improve. And even in the middle of turmoil, chaos and uncertainty, this is the most amazing time to be alive.

The conclusion I came to this morning is that it does feel like things are getting better which is exciting, and at the same time, even with whatever nonsense may be going on at the moment, things are pretty damn good.
