I defeated myself today.
I didn't wake up early,
I didn't work on my goals,
I let one minor problem take hours to resolve.
I drifted through the hours,
worked at my job,
ignored my loved ones,
didn't plan anything,
I just woke up, went through it, and now I go to sleep.
24 hours, 1440 minutes, or 86,400 seconds. Doesn't matter, It's gone.
I defeated myself this week.
I overslept,
I didn't work out,
I was swamped with tasks and deadlines,
The days blended together,
I woke up, went through it, and now I go to sleep.
168 hours, 10,080 minutes, or 604,800 seconds. Doesn't matter, It was just a week.
I defeated myself this month.
I stayed up too late,
I ate too much junk,
I missed important events,
I ignored my kids,
My biggest concern was completing job tasks,
I didn't work on my goals,
I increased my debt.
I made time for things that don't matter,
and stole time from the things that do.
I don't remember what happened 3 days ago because nothing important did.
I woke up, went through it, now I sleep.
744 hours, 44,640 minutes, or 2,678,400 seconds. It doesn't matter, It is just a blur of days.
I defeated myself this year.
I still feel tired,
I've forgotten my goals,
my job is still the same,
my car is in the shop again.
Love is distant,
daily life is boring,
kids are growing too fast,
other people's goals seem to be my life's work.
I woke up, went through it, and slept when I could.
8,760 hours, 525,600 minutes, or 31,536,000 seconds. It doesn't matter, there's always next year.
I defeated myself in life.
I never felt all that great.
I've worked for years.
My relationships are strained.
My car is still in the shop.
My old boss retired, then I got a new one.
My kids only see me at Christmas.
I am falling apart.
I'm too old to care.
I never tried to reach my goals.
God only knows how many days, hours, or seconds. It doesn't matter, I'll keep going the way I have all my life. Why change now?
I wrote this but decided I don't want it, you can use it if it applies.
