I didn’t sleep very well one night, woke up 30 minutes
before having to clock in, ANNND then I hit a bazillion red lights on my way to
work. My ears got hot, the area around my eyes started to tingle, and I felt my
stress level rise every time brake lights flashed in front of me.
Like most people, I was
irritated.
Judged.
Stop being lame. Allow yourself to have a great day.
I thought to myself: THIS
is why life is so “hard”; we forfeit the wheel to insignificant situations
(and people) that steer us off the path of happy-go-lucky to Pouty McPoutison
Drive. I recollected myself, decided it wasn’t worth my energy, and shrugged it
off.
Is it a coincidence
that traffic cleared up afterwards?
I don’t think so.
Meanwhile, in other news, I’ve read two books last month, started
writing again, dropped down to about 16% body fat, gotten significantly stronger, and am back to regularly
sipping mochas at a local coffee hub. ‘Tis a good life indeed. Now, let’s read between
the lines. Not only did I assume the responsibility to choose my battles but
this intrapersonal upper hand is also
accompanied by the luxury of time.
Something’s working in my favor.
Oh, hey!
Did I tell you I’m working full time in the hospitality
industry? Silly me, I knew I forgot something. There were plenty of hops on and
off the fence (and back on) until a conversation with a couple bromigos, who
helped confirm my off the fence
thoughts. Although I’m taken out of the gym for most of the week, I’m reimbursed with peace of mind,
a steady income, and enough time to do what I love. Right now, this is worth it.
I am worth it.
Cheers to being in
control.
