Want to know the ending to every real-life story?
I need to warn you though, and this serves as the most epic spoiler alert ever imaginable, so stop now if you want to hold onto any hope you may still have.
You’re still reading?!
Okay, I warned you.
I had a goal of finishing 2 books a week, 104 for the year. We finished 116. Here’s the list.
I witnessed something amazing today, and I’ll do my best to describe what happened in hopes that you find it equally amazing. The lengths that we humans go to in order to save face are incredible and fascinating.
No one tells my mom what to do or what to think. No one.
I posted recently about my goal to finish 2 books per week throughout 2020. We haven’t completed the year yet, but I’m just ahead of schedule.
A kind reader commented asking how I go about finishing 2 books per week and I thought I’d share my strategy.
Looking for the next book to read?
I got you covered.
They told me to work tirelessly, and forego all the play.
But then others told me that I must “seize the day.”
“Family can wait, more money should come first.”
Still others told me, “no, you’ve got those two reversed.”
Have you ever tried to sit still, in complete silence?
It is impossible!
My house creaks, the kids scream, the construction crews across the street are noisy, and I get it, your vehicles need to beep when you’re going in reverse… but are you ONLY driving your machinery in reverse? #stopthebeep
Life is a game… and sure, you’re kind of player in the game… but you’re also kind of the referee… so this gets super confusing, but being a referee sucks… because half the people in the gym (your life) are convinced you’re making the wrong calls.
I don’t have enough fingers or toes to count the number of times I was sure the other drivers were out of their minds (to put it mildly) as they wandered into my lane, cut me off, or (the most unforgivable) were only going the speed limit in the fast lane of the freeway.
Admittedly, I have also caught myself accidentally wandering into a lane I shouldn’t, cutting someone off, and yes… only going 5 mph above the speed limit in the fast lane with an absurdly-lifted truck riding me waaaaay too close.
“He must be overcompensating for something.”
