This is not a dress rehearsal.
Life isn't just in celebrating the big moments.
It's in the every day minutia too.
It’s about leaning into each day as it comes and finding moments of joy as it unfolds and unravels.
Achievements can be intoxicating but the small moments that got you there are the lessons the universe is trying to show you.
Be ambitious.
Be goal-driven.
Be passionate.
But don’t diminish the seemly perfunctory gifts on the in-between.
Those are the foundational building blocks that balance you.
Those are the moments you will reflect upon and miss.
Those are the mental polaroids that will flash when searching for warm feelings.
True success is a culmination of all of that and more wrapped into each other.
So, reach for extraordinary.
But don’t lose sight of the now.
Because that is where the magic lies.
