Our lives will inevitably be punctuated by special moments—places and events that we will long remember. And in between these high points will be countless ordinary moments that we will soon forget.

And although they are easy to overlook, it’s these everyday, ordinary moments that end up affecting who we ultimately become. Because it’s what we choose to do in the mundane that actually shapes the character and direction of our lives.

So although we remember the special moments—and rightfully so—it’s also important to realize how significant the ordinary moments truly are.
