The morning after the big day is same as the morning before the big day, and the morning of the big day.
The you after the big day is different from the you before the big day, and the you on the big day.
We all have big days.
Few big days significantly change our direction or weigh heavily on the alternatives that follow, yet big days are given disproportionate attention, because we are always inclined to believe in silver bullets. A big day is the ultimate silver bullet.
Big days have their value as a learning opportunity. The preparation it provokes helps us become more attentive. The anxiety it brings helps us realise how much we need others. The aftermath helps us realise how powerful a moment is.
However, big days are also a distraction from what is important and enduring – each day. Each day actually makes or breaks big days, but it passes by so quietly, you need to be a willing observer to learn from it.
Each day is the difference between those that use the big day as leverage, and those to whom the big day will continually be a burden.
