Sometimes the best thing to say today is, “We’ll try again tomorrow.”
It doesn’t always go right; things fall apart (thanks, Pema Chödrön); harsh words are spoken; sleep is interrupted; rehearsals don’t go as well as planned; tears are shed.
We’ll try again tomorrow.
You need to take the long view. Today isn’t the beginning, and it isn’t the end. You will have more chances.
We’ll try again tomorrow.
If you’re starting a journey, remember this mantra. If you’ve been on it for a while, you know the truth of its sentiment. When a Monday gets away from you, your students can’t sing in tune, and fire drills interrupt your every hour, remember…
We’ll try again tomorrow.
