Very well put!

So many people would agree that the idea behind "stop and smell the roses" is a good and healthy one. And so few people would actually do it in real life.

I would even expand what you said to include things like living intentionally and experiencing the moment are part of that general skill of finding fulfillment in a world that will never be unbroken.
