They show us how, with tools, tips, and ideas, to enjoy what we have and to live in a state of "good enough, for now," one of the strongest, most effective reframes there is, and how this idea can make new possibilities available, giving us the energy to enjoy the present moment and allowing us to begin to prototype possible futures.
