If we take a typical month, we are likely to have a couple of great days and a couple of bad days. Most of the rest are divided between the good days and the “statue” days, depending on how we run our lives.
The term “Statue” day is inspired by the “some days you are the pigeon, some days you are the statue” quote. These are days when we just don’t feel with it. And they are part of being human, part of the usual ups and downs. If we run our lives well, we have less of these but there’s practically no way of avoiding them.
I have one big learning about statue days – be ruthless in shutting them down. Often, we head back home on a statue day thinking about all the things we could have done and tempted to make amends in the evening. Don’t. Shut it down. Go home. Sleep. Start afresh the next day. It will be better.
Great and good things are not done on so-so days. Great and good things are achieved on great and good days.
