Ichi-go ichi-e is a Japanese phrase that means One time, one meeting.

Regardless of your routine, every single moment is the last one you’ll have. Something as simple as commuting to work, something you do nearly every day, each one is unique in this fact.

To be mindful of this is difficult in the mundane, but powerful in practice.

If you can notice the nuance and impermanence of the seemingly insignificant, that will carry over into the moments that matter.

Every moment of your life is unique.

It will never happen again.
