- My days feel small and self-enclosed, all about me and my own little concerns, and the times I’ve felt most lifted out of myself were when I was caught up in something bigger than me
- I’ve had a handful of moments where I felt completely alive and lifted out of myself, and they’ve always seemed like luck
- My most alive moments have come when I was so deep into something that I lost track of time and forgot myself entirely

- In those rare lit-up moments I suddenly see exactly what matters and what I should change

Man’s Search for Meaning, Made Practical - Mastery Experiences
Albert Bandura identified mastery experiences — successfully completing difficult tasks — as the most powerful source of self-efficacy.

The evidence across clinical, educational, and occupational research is strong.
