This Time Only

2 Mins read

Every task we tackle, every challenge we face, holds meaning beyond the surface. It’s easy to look at a growing to-do list, an unexpected issue, or the pressure of delivering on time and see stress, but these moments are actually signs of something greater: there’s a demand for the work being done, and it matters. Each challenge met is a reflection of trust. It’s not just a job—it’s a privilege.

When a problem is solved, it’s more than just handling an issue; it’s knowing that others are depending on the results. Not everyone gets to say that their work has such an immediate, real-world impact. The backlog might feel endless at times is proof of those who trust that solutions will be provided. Every task completed builds on that trust.

The pressure around a final delivery? It’s the moment where everything—planning, effort, and skill—comes together for real people, shaping their experience and outcomes.These milestones remind us that we’re not just working in a vacuum. Our efforts drive real, tangible outcomes.

But as we push through these challenges, let’s remember something even more important. We’re not just checking off a to-do list; amidst the hustle and bustle of our shifts, we’re living through moments that will never come again.

The Japanese concept of Ichigo Ichie teaches this very same lesson that every encounter, every experience, happens only once. This means that the challenges we face today won’t come again in exactly the same way tomorrow. We have one chance to give this moment everything we’ve got—to get it right, to make an impact, and there’s no rewind button.

There’s no replay button. There’s no “next time” to fix it. This time only is our opportunity to get it right, to make an impact. It’s more than a list of tasks—it’s about creating positive outcomes for others and oneself, experiences that won’t happen in the same way again.

So, let’s approach our work with gratitude and presence. Let’s see the challenges not as burdens but as privileges. We get to be here, doing what we do, making a difference. Let’s treasure these moments as they come because they may not come again. When we recognize the value of each challenge, each interaction, and each milestone, we can give our best to the work in front of us and grow through every experience.

In every task completed, every problem solved, and every goal reached, there’s a moment that won’t repeat. Let’s be present, let’s give it our all, and let’s be grateful for the privilege of doing this work, this time only.

Take a moment and hear out Ma’am Carolyne Myss’ reminder below:
