A Life of Wonder

Best work and daily work are vastly different but both have significance. Writing every day, for example, is a habit that reveals patterns through rereading that might not show up in your “best” work. Best work can be either a sudden flash of creativity or a carefully cultivated and polished product, but it may sometimes lack the authenticity found in daily work.

I now have a different appreciation for best work and daily work – the former is a soothing routine that offers gradual insight, while the latter is an act of creation and concentration.
