Great buildings are made up of good bricks. Each brick was laid carefully to create the building. Each brick has two features in order to serve as a good brick for the building. The first feature is that it should be of high quality. This means that it should be made up of good materials, properly shaped and appropriately processed. And the second feature is that it should be placed properly according to the design of the building.

A strong brick but positioned in the wrong direction is either useless or even a problem for the building. And a brick that is placed properly in its place but is not strong enough can’t be reliable. It won’t be able to bear the load it is supposed to bear. 

Your life is made up of your days. Every single day is playing an important piece of your whole life. Each day needs to have two distinct features in order to serve as a good day for constructing your desirable life. The first one is that it should be a good day on its own. A day that you are happy and you enjoy the day and use your time diligently. The second feature is that whatever you do during that day needs to be aligned with your long term plan and your vision.

There is no such thing as a perfect life. So it’s ok to have some days that you are not proud of. And there is no perfect plan in life that would go precisely as you wish. But the more you are committed to keeping the quality of your daily life according to your long term goals, the closer you become to build an excellent life which is both fulfilling and moving toward a future that you’ve dreamed of.

Life is extremely precious. We need to fully commit to living it artfully. We need to give it the effort it deserves.
