that big moment..I feel like is a myth
I feel like some people have them in a sense of winning a trophy like the Heisman or winning the next American Idol. Even the football player is living a life made up of more than that one moment. Life is a collection of a million, billion moments, tiny little moments and choices. A handful of moments lined up through the days, weeks, years. They make a life, a person. It takes so much time and so much work, and those moments are so small and so much less fabulous and dramatic than the movies.

Over these years I have found out that ..This is it, normal daily life ticking by on our streets and sidewalks, in our houses and apartments, in our beds and at our dinner tables, in our dreams and prayers and fights and secrets - it's the most precious thing any of us will ever experience.
The big moments are in every hour, every conversation, every meal, every meeting.
The Heisman Trophy winner knows this. He knows that his big moment was not when they gave him the trophy, it was the thousand times he went to practice instead of going back to bed. It was the miles run on rainy days, the healthy meals when the burger sounded like heaven. That big moment represented and rested on a foundation of moments that had come before it.
This is your ig moment. The life you've been waiting for is all around you. The scene unfolding right outside your window is worth more than the most beautiful painting, and the crackers and peanut butter that you're having for lunch on the island are as profound in their own way, as the Last Supper. This is it. This is life in all its glory, swirling and unfolding all around us.
Pull off the mask and you will find your life.
