to me they're all ideals that the creator is striving for. By putting that out there the author is reminding themselves of what's important to them and making themselves publicly accountable to them. If I read someone's /now page and it says "I notice things and try to make them better" I'm likely to ask them what they've noticed and improved the next time I encounter them. If they haven't noticed or improved then I've just helped remind them that they've allowed themselves to stop focusing on the things that are actually important to them.
