Tuesday Thoughts

Sometimes things don’t always go as planned. You hope for one outcome and then life gets in the way and changes those plans. And that can be rough. You then go through a few stage during this time.

First, you might be angry or overall upset. You want to cry or punch a pillow or throw something against the wall (I don’t know, I don’t know your life).

Then it might be the “I can’t do anything right and I’ll never make it anywhere in life” phase.

After probably comes the “Whatever I don’t even care anymore phase.”

But then you think about it more and realize that you do care.

So then you get upset again.

But then you realize that getting upset isn’t going to change anything. What’s done is done and you’ll just have to live with whatever outcomes occur.

So then you go through some motivational quotes you’ve heard in life to try to make yourself feel better. Some examples include,

“Hakuna Matata” (The Lion King)

“Let It Go” (Frozen)

“If you can imagine it, you can achieve it; if you can dream it, you can become it.” (William Arthur Ward)

“If you risk nothing then you risk everything.” (Geena Davis)

“Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending.” (Maria Robinson)

“You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.” (Wayne Gretzky)

“Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.” (Winston Churchill)

So, now that you’ve read over motivational quotes in your head you’re at the “I’m starting to feel better about life” phase.

But you still decide that the day has been rough so you treat yourself to Chipotle and ice cream with friends.

And then even though you should go back and study you instead play a little frisbee and talk to friends.

So then by the end of the night you have accomplished nothing, but feel a heck of a lot better.

And that’s what really matters, right? Right. So, now, if any of you are having a rough day and things just aren’t going your way, remember that you will probably go through all of these phases, if not even a few more, but in the end you will be okay and everything will be okay and life will move on in a beautiful fashion and that will be that.

The end.

Happy Tuesday everyone!
