A Messy Life, Well Lived

We spend so much of our lives trying to bring order to chaos. We create clocks, calendars, weather apps—little systems to help us believe we’re in control. But really, how much of life is truly under our control?

What if we chose to live in a reality entirely of our own making?

• Are there really 31 or 30 days in a month… or should they all just be 28?

• Who decided a day has 24 hours anyway?

• Why can’t summer be monsoon?

• What if orange is actually green, and green is blue?

We accept these frameworks without question. But once in a while, it’s worth breaking away from the routine—to rewrite the rules, even if just for a day.

I try to run my life. Is it in order? Honestly, probably not. But here's the kicker: I kind of like the chaos. I thrive in a life that’s equal parts messy and structured. Still, there are moments when being sharp, focused, and organized makes all the difference.

The question is: with all the resources you have—time, energy, ideas—are you really using them? I know I haven’t always. Maybe you haven’t either.

So try this: live a day off-script. Ditch the pattern. See what happens. You might surprise yourself.

A wise friend once told me, “Stop being a chicken in your job. Take the risk.”
At first, I stumbled. I miscalculated.
Then I took a risk—and it paid off.
Tried again—it didn’t.
Still, every single time, I learned.

And here’s what I know now: what doesn’t kill you makes you wiser, bolder, and maybe even sexier (just saying). It toughens your skin and softens your fear.

Because destiny isn’t a path handed to you—it’s the one you choose for yourself.

So go out there. Grab life by the… well, you know.
If life gives you lemons—make lemonade.
If it gives you a tangerine—enjoy it.
And if it gives you a cactus... well, just don’t sit on it.

Peace out. ✌️
