I was going to write an email about how entrepreneurship is just cleverly disguised personal development.
But when I sat down to write it. My brain decided nope. I don’t want you writing smart stuff right now.
I want you to talk about the cat that nearly followed you home this morning.
So this is the email…
I needed coffee. I ran out of milk. I had to engage in Mortal Kombat with Martha to get the best AND freshest of milk for my coffee.
Unfortunately. Martha won.
However. I was the true winner of the morning, cause as I was walking home…
This absolute menace of a cat decide it wanted attention and well. I just had to oblige. Pets and scritches were on the menu and as much as I would’ve happily stolen the kitty away. I chose not to obviously.
Then I also realised that no matter how caught up we get in our lives. Our animal counterparts are there to remind us to just take a little time to stop and enjoy whatever it is that you’re doing.
We’re too damn busy rushing around and honestly, who wants rush themselves into an early grave?
I also get that we use our constant busy-ness-ness as a coping mechanism. I mean I do it too.. (You’re not alone)
But every now and then. Just stop. Take a deep breath. Have a good coffee and if the opportunity is there to pet kitties… Well. Do that too.
Now it’s time to soak myself in a bath filled with epsom salts and think about that smart email for tomorrow.

P.S. LOOK AT THAT KITTY
