Four Quarters, Fresh Starts   #

Think of a workday like a game:  
Morning. Mid-morning. Afternoon. Evening.  
Four clean quarters on the clock.

Blew the opener with a fumbled cold call?  
That’s Q1. Buzzer sounded.  
Bow to the lesson. Drop the replay.

New inbound hits voicemail at 11:07-
  that’s Q2’s kickoff.  
Full reset. Fresh breath. Different score.

Buddha calls it moment-to-moment arising.  
Nothing carries over unless you drag it.

Mistake in the afternoon demo?
  Shake hands with it.  
Leave it in Q3’s locker room.  
Evening still waits, wide open.

Each quarter is a brand-new possession.  
Begin again.  
And again.  
The scoreboard of the past can’t chase you onto the next play unless you invite it.
