Screw Your Plans
Empty screen, cold thumbs, and an old pizza box harbored a double cheese pizza 12 hours prior.
All of that hard work put in, and not much to show for.
I felt like a newbie. A loser. A shy virgin.
I was zapped and out of work.
My plans get fudged up by my “rubbing the magic lamp” and attempting to stimulate future ideas…
If you are a business owner, copywriter, marketer, or heck, even work a coal mining job and gawk social media on all of your bathroom breaks, then this is for you.
As a way of strong proof… look at 2020!
Every time a leader, influencer, or restaurant owner gets back into the groove and relieves the stress of the pandemic, another “beast” shows up and tears all the plans to hell!
What about when you were a kid?
You getting ready for school, eat breakfast, and BAM!
A bully trashes your idea and personality, and you feel like crawling underneath a rock. Plans no mo!
Think about it.
We humans are freaked out by uncertainty when it comes into our daily lives.
But what keeps us distracted and feeling safe?
Social media provides certainty.
Jobs provide certainty. (to a certain point.)
Food provides certainty.
Relationships provide certainty.
We all get comfortable with materials and certainty.
I can’t blame myself. This is how the world operates.
Yet, problems are always rising up!
Why?
Because we want to plan the hell out of everything, and when we plan, situations bend.
We try to convince ourselves and others that this is likely to happen. But it’s not 100% true.
We cannot predict ANYTHING!
We are present human being that refuse to be present!
I believe are plans are always screwed with because it is reminding us to stay present. To be a human being and absorb what is going on right now.
Slow things down.
Listen to thier voice.
Pray before you eat.
Enjoy the full 15 minutes of walking in the sun.
Subtract all the flavors, and just stick to one or two.
Be an artist.
Be you.
Be rogue.
