The transition from youth to adulthood is the end of chasing the magnificent and the beginning of appreciating the mundane
Surely, the magnificent has a place in adulthood but not like it does in adolescence.
As an adult, you confront the idea that everyday moments are the stuff of life. Rituals, routine. All that jazz. Maturity marks a transition from lusting for grandeur to relishing the everyday.

People like to say that “you have to look for the magnificent in the mundane,” but it’s not as true as the cliche implies.
The joy of adulthood is that it’s intensely *interesting.* My career is a quest to maximize interestingness, and share the joy of that quest with others.

The nature of what we call magnificent changes with age. Fewer baseball games and roller coasters, but more conversations by the campfire and looking for shooting stars with our loved ones
