The think (here) Blog

As I settled down to write the conclusion to my #FAILweek story a funny thing happened. A series of unexpected events caused my wifi signal to die. As a result Firefox crashed in a way unfamiliar to me. As I began to tinker with the two fresh problems that materialized from nowhere an all to common 'WOOOOM' chimed from the laptop speakers informing me that I had under 10 minutes of power remaining unless I plugged it in. Can you guess where this is going? After a quick search I remembered my power cord is sitting on the desk in my office... 56 miles away.

After one of the longest days I have had in recent memory any combination of the problems listed above would be the perfect excuse to throw in the towel for the night, kick back, and "get to it tomorrow."

Bullshit. That's not how I roll. I am an individual of many talents, but dishing out excuses is not one of them. You don't "Crush It!" by making excuses. "Getting to it tomorrow" may not seem like a "big deal" in the "big picture", but I am here to prove otherwise.

I am sitting on the floor drafting, editing, and posting this entire blog post (as well as the 'part 3' post i intended to write) from my phone plugged into the wall because I know it is the moments like this that truly define what our future looks like.

So the next time your chips are down (or wifi for that matter) and you are thinking of giving up, ask yourself this: Have I truly exhausted every possible route to success or am I just giving excuses?

Creativity is born from constraints.

t(h)ink on.
