Some days this is all it takes for me. Just a little reminder that I need to go into the day and admit that at some point, I will be wrong. I feel like I have struggled with that a lot this week. I wake up with the whole world ahead of me, energized for the day; however, somewhere down the road, and typically by 10 a.m., I have hit a point in the pavement where I am frustrated or feel defeated about something. It has been work related, home related, life related, or somewhere in between. Regardless, each step after that is a struggle to keep moving, because I do not want to be wrong about something, or anything.
What I discovered last night, though, was because I am not willing to admit wrongness or defeat, or that somebody else’s way is better, I am hindering myself to grow. To learn. To expand.
My story has not been all that great this week. An interesting character struggles more, faces more challenges, and grows from them. My character, me, has stopped before the chance happened. Before the struggle or the challenge, I just stop. So it is 10 a.m. and I have decided, whatever life brings today, all I need is a reminder that a good cup of coffee and the willingness to be wrong will be the start of a good story.
And if you are in the St. Louis area, here are a few good coffee joints that I would suggest for that cup of joe. I hope that you take a moment today to be a better character in your story.
