Are you locked in today?

Some days you’re locked in, and other days you’re not. Some days you can’t help but be locked in. You woke up on the right side of the bed, and you’re ready to make things happen. You had your coffee at the right time, and everything is snapping into place. You’re ready to work, and you know you’re going to crush it when you get there. Other days are not so easy. Other days, you feel like you’re trying to scrape two brain cells together to find a spark. You’re at the end of your rope, and there is no way around it other than going to sleep and trying the next day again. We have to allow ourselves to have these types of days, too. We’re not going to be able to bring our A game to every single workday, project, or meeting. This is okay. Some days you just have to see if you can make it through, and try not to beat yourself up too much if things don’t happen the way you’d like them to. We’re human, after all. We’re not machines. As much as machines try to swoop in and fix everything, we will always need that human element to survive.
