I lay down on the couch and I'm starting to take a nap.
I'm 20 minutes into the nap, I am deep.
I'm knocked out, unconscious, dreaming away.
And then suddenly I'm pulled out of my deep rest because I hear my mom gasp.
There's a cardinal over there on our neighbor's tree.
And I find myself jump extremely fast and sprint to the kitchen where my mom is.
And I just look out the window at our neighbor's tree and see the cardinal.
And I just say, oh, it's a sign that spring is coming.
Because for context, if you saw yesterday's YouTube video, I talked about how I'm beginning
to dread the cold.
And so I saw the cardinal and I'm thinking, oh, spring is coming, just as a joke.
But I just really like this story because when I got so rudely pulled out of my deep
sleep, I had a few options.
I could have either just ignored it and gone back, tried to go back to taking my nap and
end up getting mad in my own thoughts.
Or I could have woken up and gotten mad for them waking me up.
Or I could have done the best option, which is what I did, and just went along with it
because sometimes you just got to catch yourself and not take it so seriously.
Because for the first part, first of all, it was my fault that I decided to take a nap
on the couch where everyone else is right next to the kitchen.
But besides that point, it's also not getting mad.
One of the greatest things that I've done over the past couple, one of the greatest things
that I've worked on over the past couple months is working on my anger tolerance and not getting
mad so easily and actually trying not to get mad at all.
That has helped tremendously with my life and my discipline.
