I’ve Got This

Ok, maybe sometimes I get a little annoyed when one of the awesome foursome calls me with an emergency or just a basic need of advice. And maybe I like it. It’s a delicate balance between being needed and being stressed out. I mean, your emergency is not my emergency. I didn’t park my car in the park overnight where signs were clearly posted that you can’t park there past 2:00 am. And you didn’t drive your car drunk after hanging in the bar past 2:00 am.
Little mistakes are ok to make. I always feel like I can’t make even the littlest mistake without ramifications. And those damn ramifications are a bitch. They cause me stress. But they don’t necessarily wreck up your whole life. For some of us, little mistakes feel like life-wrenchers. But I have realized over time, that these little mistakes are not only ok to make, they are the best life lessons to learn, the easy way. I say easy because they don’t really have a major consequence. They may cost you money or time but they don’t cause the heartache of a felony or a hospital stay. A $200 tow bill and parking ticket is way easier to swallow than a $10,000 attorney and felony conviction.
Choose your mistakes wisely. And for those of us who focus on the details of mistakes, let’s give ourselves a break. Take a deep breath and know that we have survived every day and every challenge before today. There is a pretty good chance we will survive whatever we are facing right this minute. What’s that saying? We have a 100% success rate so far of surviving whatever life throws at us? So we CAN handle what’s coming down the pike. Just take a deep breath and repeat, “I’ve Got This.”
