Mondays (Really Do) Matter

Mark Muir • 24 March 2025

It’s up to you to seize these moments.



You're strolling back from a refreshing walk with your dog along the sunlit beach, the salty breeze tousling your hair ( or what you have left of it), when the faint strains of music begin to tickle your ears.


Curiosity piqued, you follow the melody and stumble upon an unexpected sight—a music festival right there on the sand.


And not just any festival, but one boasting free admission.


Without a second thought, you wander in, the music growing louder and more inviting with each step.


On stage, an electrifying band captures your attention, especially with their psychedelic riffs and stunning three-part harmonies.


To your delight, they launch into a lively rendition of "The Bare Necessities," led by a vocalist who channels the charm of Baloo the Bear himself.


It's a magical moment, one that seems almost too good to be true.


And it hits you: this entire experience, stumbled upon entirely by chance, could have been so easily missed.


You realise, as the crowd sways and sings around you, that life is a series of unexpected treasures, often hiding just around the next bend.


Never take anything for granted.


Every encounter, every spontaneous adventure, every little detour from your routine holds potential for something profound.


Think about it.


In business, as in life, the most incredible opportunities often come unannounced.


They don’t send a memo or an alert; they simply appear.


It’s up to you to seize these moments.


To step into the unknown with open arms and an open mind.


Because you never know—today’s chance detour could lead to tomorrow’s biggest breakthrough or your career’s greatest success.


Always be ready. Always be willing.


Never take anything for granted.
