April 24th, 2023

 Let’s go right at it on a Monday morning and throw some Billy Shakes up on the Chalkboard. The subject of adversity and facing our opponent rather than cower in the corner.

We’ve all had misfortune in life. Misfortune that comes with the luck of life’s draw or even worse… by our own mistakes and bad decision making. Usually we are our own worst enemy. We are our own adversary.
If Billy Shakes took my life and wrote a play it would be a comedy sprinkled with a little tragedy. Sometimes a drunken fool that didn’t hear the advice of the blind sage. The player in search for humility when it has always been there. The character that never is prepared to fight the windmill and would rather run into the woods for safety.
It is Monday and the week will undoubtedly bring windmills to tilt.
The spotlight shines bright on the foolish person that finishes a long winded speech, but has nothing more to give.
All of us have fifteen minutes of fame to make the production a success. Don’t let Shakespeare pen you as the failure feeling sorry for your misfortune. Be the lead that brings triumph to the stage and comedy to the next act.
Look at this day as the opening scene to the final act and adversity and defeat won’t conquer your path to glory.
I am my only playwright and I’m using a pencil with a good eraser.
You are your own playwright… rewrite as often as you want. Develop the main character and the flow from one act to the next and never settle.
The dragons will be slaughtered and your army will never retreat until Camelot is safe again.
Okay…. Back to reality. It is the last week of April and there isn’t a dragon or a King’s army to lead into May.
End April on a good note and face May with your chin high and your heart full.
No matter how bad you fuck something up this week it won’t be as bad as the Bears with the ninth pick in this weeks NFL draft.
Draft well Chalkheads and thank you for all the hug’s yesterday.
