Not the big talk

A small oratory. One to remind us that it's not the fanfare and big talk that matter, it's not the glamour—often it's not even the glittering intellect.

It's being there.

Yes, life presents unexpected circumstances, it throws up roadblocks and leaves us scrambling for solutions. That's why, if you can be there, you should: because next time you may face a roadblock that prevents your presence.

Too many roadblocks and, well, it begins to look like you're not there. It begins to look a lot like you're not there. It becomes clear that, actually, you're somewhere else entirely.

If your intention is to be somewhere else entirely, that's fine. But if it's not, then I have just two words for you:

Be there.

Most of the time, that's all that matters.
