You weren’t put here to be impressive. You were put here to be faithful, which is harder and better.

Impressive and faithful pull in different directions more often than people admit. Impressive needs an audience and a result; faithful just needs you to do the same unremarkable right thing again on a day when nobody checks. The second is harder, which is unexpected, because it does not come with any of the energy that attention provides. It is also the only one of the two that holds up over years.

Pick the commitment you have been keeping badly and keep it properly this week. Same thing, same standard, nobody told.
