Ichigo-ichie is a striking Japanese phrase which means “one life, one-time encounter.”

The moment will not happen again when I was staying up to fight for patients who are eagerly waiting for a life-saving drug.

The moment will not happen again when I was face-to-face with a client who is also an IRONMAN.

The moment will not happen again when I was spending 1:1 time with a master strategist.

The moment will not happen again when I was responding to a project manager’s text.

Similar moments may occur, but never quite the same.

Too often we dismiss these gifts because we’re too busy demanding our rights.

Drip by drip, I get opportunities to create something GRAND.
