Best outcomes in life rarely come from single-day, one-time, big splashes, but from tiny things we do every day or things we avoid every day – they come from the consistency of who we are and how we manage our life, how we use our time, and how we demonstrate our value [or fail to] to others, and for a greater good than our selfish issues and tasks du jour.
But each day starts afresh; blank pages are the symbolic reminder – not that we are bereft of thoughts to fill it, but instead the realization that each day is a blank page/canvas on which we paint our life. We do this every day our whole life.
In advertising, they talk lots about white space – that it is as important as the message or images on the page.
