Let’s say… you’re a writer. You’ve done a lot of reading, but you’ve never come across the book you want to write. There’s a unique emptiness out there that needs to be filled. You know you have the talent, the intellect, the creativity to fill this emptiness. You also secretly fear that if you don’t fill it, eventually someone else will. And yet, you idle.

Writing is my passion, my love. But I didn’t really feel like doing it this month. I was sitting here today trying to understand why I would ever not want to do something that I love to do! I mean, if I can’t get my brain to engage in what I love, how the heck am I going to endure what I hate? As you can see, dear readers, this was a very important question for me to answer.

What goes on in your head when you don’t do the right thing?
I’ve been asking myself this question whenever I’ve failed to act in accordance with my stated goals. You know what you should do, I tell myself, but you don’t always do it. I know you, reader, have been through the same thing, because we are human, and by our nature we are imperfect.

One of my favorite scenes in the movie “Fight Club” is when Tyler Durden drags a convenience store clerk out into the back parking lot and holds him at gunpoint. When the store clerk divulges his abandoned passion to become a veterinarian, Tyler decides to let him go on the condition that he fulfill his dream, or else face certain death. What is so great about this scene is that anyone who can imagine himself in the store clerk’s shoes will know that he will succeed at becoming a veterinarian come hell or high water.

With the exception of life crises, most bad events are short-lived and do nothing more than ruin an otherwise good day. But do they have to do even that? When misfortune knocks at your door uninvited, many people are quick to label it as “just another bad day.” Chalk up another one to the devil’s own luck and wait to see what tomorrow has in store, am I right? I sometimes tell myself that because something bad happened, I deserve to just relax and recuperate until the next day.
But hang on a second. Is the day over already? If your day is abysmal so far, can’t you do something to make it at least acceptable? And if your day is already good, isn’t there something you could do to make it groovy?
