Since today is the second made me think of sophomore slumps and how sequel never as good as original or how hard it is to repeat or defend championships in sports. I would attribute to complacency or risk averse or heart posture not the same. Encouragement to find that passion and joy in heart when pursuing tasks or second chance on personal, relationship, project etc

Great work by all :saluting_face:
