After a well deserved break, we bring you the 51st edition of Rich Monday Paper, This issue is a gentle reminder to slow down and embrace the beauty of the present moment, inspired by the poignant words of Olivia Colman at this year’s Sundance Film Festival
The 51st edition of Rich Monday Paper continues to bring you stories, insights and ideas to enrich your life—both personally and professionally. This issue is a gentle reminder to slow down and embrace the beauty of the present moment, inspired by the poignant words of Olivia Colman at this year’s Sundance Festival:
“Now I’m grateful for the slow years. I feel like they gave me an appreciation to be very grateful that I was lucky in certain things. I know exactly what you mean when all you think about is the audition, but they don’t call back. I used to do auditions, and I would tell myself, ‘Well, that was fun, and I’m never going to hear back.’ You need to get on with the next bit of your day. It’s easy to say but not easy to do.”
Olivia Colman
Savoring life’s simplest joys is a powerful antidote to the chaos of modern living. It reminds us that beauty isn’t something we need to seek out—it’s something we can find right where we are.
When you live with this mindset, you realize that happiness isn’t found in the next milestone or achievement. It’s found in the little things—the laughter of a friend, the warmth of a hug, or the first sip of coffee in the morning.
In a world that constantly demands more—more speed, more achievement, more connectivity—it’s easy to feel as though slowing down is a luxury we cannot afford. But perhaps, as Colman suggests, those slower moments are the ones that ultimately shape us, offering clarity, grounding, and gratitude.
This week’s edition invites you to pause, reflect, and savour life’s simplest joys. From the gentle inspiration of Sundance Festival, where Cherie Davis took the stage for the premiere of All That Is Left of You, to exploring the global celebrations of Valentine’s Day, we hope to spark a sense of connection and calm in your day.
