You wake up the day after an epic birthday party. You don’t remember what you did. You’re not where you expected to be.
You wake up the day after an epic party. You’re not where you expected to be. Maybe you woke up at home, or maybe you woke up in a hotel somewhere else. Maybe you woke up in a hospital bed. Maybe you woke up in a little, dingy room with a bunch of hospital equipment surrounding you. Maybe you woke up in a private room with a big TV and comfortable bed. Maybe you woke up in a hotel room somewhere else. Maybe you woke up in a hospital bed in the ER.
Whatever you woke up in, you were probably pretty confused. You had so much fun last night, but you were sober enough to know that you shouldn’t have drunk that much. You were hung over, and you just wanted to make sure you still got to eat breakfast.
Or, you were not hung over. You just woke up and needed something to eat. Maybe you woke up to go and needed to stay up and watch Netflix. Maybe you woke up with a hangover and you just needed to lie down.
Whatever you were doing on Monday, you wanted it to last forever.
Maybe it did.
But on Thursday, you’re ready to start your week. It’s been a great break, and you want it to go on forever. It’s time to wake up.
Today is the day.
Today is the day you can start feeling refreshed. Today is the day you can start breathing deeply again. Today is the day you can start looking forward to going to work. Today is the day you can start making plans for the weekend. Today is the day you can start planning what you want to do with your life.
But today is the day that you can’t.
Today is the day you’re going back to work.
Every day of your life is like this. You wake up. You go to work. You come home. You watch TV. You go to sleep. You wake up.
But when you’re on vacation, you have a choice. You can wake up like this, and just enjoy every second of it. You can wake up, and try to forget about all the things that are going on in the rest of the world. You can wake up, and just enjoy that you can wake up.
You can do this. You can wake up like this.
But if you’re going to do this, you need to do it now. You need to wake up like this, or you can never wake up like this. You need to wake up like this, or you will never wake up like this.
You wake up the day after an epic birthday party. You don’t remember what you did. You’re not where you expected to be.
You have a good sense of direction. You know how to get somewhere even if you’re not sure where to get there. But you’re in the middle of a forest. You don’t know where you’re going.
How do you get out of the forest?
You have to start out somewhere. So you’ll go up.
You start going up a mountain. There’s a little peak you want to get to.
You climb up the peak.
You reach the peak.
How do you get to the top of the peak?
You can’t go straight up. You have to veer.
You veer to the right. You know that there’s another peak a little ways to the right. You can reach it from here.
You veer to the right. You reach the top of the peak.
How do you get to the top of the other peak?
You can’t go straight up. You have to veer.
