not gone lie to ya, fam: my day started a little rocky.
about 5 minutes ago, i was on struggle.
spilling water + shit.
thoughts were flowing faster than my mouth could handle, so i was jumbling my words.
tripped over some shit on the floor.
arm sleeve got caught on the door handle 😩
sis — what the fuck?
i could feel the heat coming off my ears, but instead of getting upset, i laughed.
i laughed a long + hard, borderline maniacal laugh.
initially, i laughed to keep from screaming, but something shifted!
that fake ass laugh made me laugh even harder — a forreal, deep gut laugh!
it was ridiculous, yet absolutely necessary in that moment. 😂
i figured God was telling me to slow down so i stopped + stood in the middle of the room, took a deep breath, closed my eyes, + affirmed:
life is working for my good + laughter is medicine for my soul. i’m turning my day around right this moment. thank you for the reminder to slow my ass down.
i’m letting that shit go, fam —
anything that happened before this moment, consider it dead to me.
from this moment on, i’m choosing to have the best day ever.
from this moment on, i’m deciding to pause + think before i speak.
from this moment on, i’m moving with intention + slowing the fuck down.
your day doesn’t have to end how it starts.
you have the power to choose your next move —
how you gonna react when shit doesn’t go your way, sis?
what you gone do when shit goes awry?
step out of the funk + into the funny.
laugh a little… shit, laugh a lot!
don’t take yourself or your situation so seriously.
the reality is you’re going to trip, jumble up words, spill shit, + catch your arm sleeve on the door 😩 —
how you gonna react when it happens, though?
that’s was counts most.
be you, be dope!
