Hey You — Scrap All of Your Goals This Instant

Screw it, I’ll say it: Twitter is an invaluable resource.

Not because of Jedward’s prolific tweeting or the fact that Trump is nowhere in sight, but because it grants me the gift of stumbling across tweets like this:

“My goal until this Sunday is to survive. Everything else is a bonus.”

This was shared by the phenomenal Anangsha, who in every moment of her life makes the world a better place. She is a sunflower personified; enchanting, beautiful, providing inspiration that is ten feet tall. This tweet is proof.

We need to stop wanting so much.

We need to sack off all our goals for a moment, forget about being a Michelin Star chef or a world-famous cricketer or the CEO of Lego. We simply need to focus on survival. Because being alive is the best thing we can do.

Let that be your goal — at least until Sunday.

Oh hey, whilst you’re here: why not put the “em” into your “emails” and lob your name onto my mailing list for weekly em-bellishments on my rose-tinted, crumb-coated lens of life. It’s the equivalent of the reduced section in the supermarket (low value Weird Crap™ that you didn’t know you needed).
