"dai•ly adj. done, happening, or published every (week)day."
Well, that's the literalists at the Webster's New World Dictionary for you.
But where does the concept of "day" really come from? The Gregorian calendar. And what standard of measure were the good monks using? The time it takes for the Earth to move around the Sun.
So believe it or not, but we're still measuring our DAYS by mere Earthly standards rather than by the standards of the Universe.
And as everyone who has read my book FYIL: Find Your Inner Larry knows, in order to succeed we must transcend the gravity of our Earth-bound standards that would tie us to the ground. Instead we must release our Inner Larry to meet his Universal Potential™.
I discuss my trademarked conceptualization of Universal Potential™ in my book, but I can explain a little bit here. Think of unicorns in virgin forests ridden by nymphs. If you can think of it, it exists. Only your skepticism prevents you from seeing your own reality.
I'll give you an example of the reverse of Universal Potential™. George Lucas originally conceived of an entire planet of Wookiees for Revenge of the Jedi. But then he began to doubt himself. A planet of seven-foot-tall men in ape suits? How expensive will that be? And all the haters started up their "Jedis shouldn't want 'revenge'" campaign, and before you can shed a single tear, we were given Endor, the Ewoks, the Ewok theme song "Yub Nub", and Episode VI: Return of the Jedi. (I refuse to speak of the re-mastered ending of Return of the Jedi. Refuse!)
Watch and you will see that George Lucas's Universal Potential™ was not manifested. Not by far. And later tinkering didn't help.
So if Earthly reality can ground a giant like Lucas, think of the damage it can do to everyone else.
Daily Affirmation: Gravity, I don't need you to bring me down. I am anchored by nothing but my own imagination.
