I assume as this is my first blog that I need to introduce myself in some general fashion. Ehh bump that. Being general makes you static. Static leads to boredom. Need I say more.
Welcome to a blog about mistakes. A blog about all of those things in life that happen so often you begin to think your life is all one big mistake. Well that's why I'm here. To shed a shred of light on your mistakes. If you are laying in your bed, alive, after a day full of mistakes, then you've succeeded. You survived another day. Time to get ready for another tomorrow.
Mistake #1: Waking Up
Open eyes. Curse your alarm. Punch and beat down said alarm. Slowly close eyes and drift off. Seconds pass by. Seconds become minutes. Minutes become half an hour. Your brain realizes you weren't supposed to go back to sleep. AHH! You're gonna be late. Ehh oh well you're awake that's whats important here. It's also your first mistake of the day.
The reason you're already starting the day off a step behind is because when you're sleeping is the most secure place you'll ever know. You just woke up into a world full of craziness, famine, loud sounds, guns, and a declining economy. So yeah...when's the light gonna be shed here again?
Amidst all of the bad, worse, and unimaginably horrible, there is good to come out of this situation. You're awake and can make a change. Yes I'm talking about mustering up the energy to change your clothes and you should probably change your tie. No one at the office will like your one of a kind coke bottle tie. Clothes changed. Perfect.
As you trudge around your apartment debating in your mind if you really need breakfast or not today, you're focusing on tonight's sleep. "Oh I'm gonna go to bed early tonight and wake up with a better tomorrow." Yeah, probably not. Success is only represented by habit. If you continue to wake up late yet again, you succeed at another mistake. You wish you were still sleeping. Sleep feels great. Everybody in the world thinks that. Except terrorists. In your sleep you are king and no one can bring you down. But, that's it, you're asleep. You're a king in the Kingdom of Awesome when you're snoozing. However, you're not thrusting yourself into a world full of mistakes.
You have to get up and thrust away. It might be scary. Hell you might die. But, as long as you try you're golden. You may think you made a mistake waking up today, but instead you you gave yourself a shot at not sucking something terrible. For every day your feet hit that floor, you're already ahead of the other half of the world who hasn't woken up yet. You have a chance to get out there and make more mistakes. So fail away. And if by some lucky chance you find a way out of this day alive, you're a success story waiting to happen.
Now to end this shpeal I leave you with three words of advice: Rinse, Wash, Repeat.
Soak on it!
