3652 - Blogger Jessica


Jessica Hagy does graphs and charts. She's started out as a blogger, expanded to Facebook, and now works for Forbes Magazine.  I'm still waiting for Forbes to call me. Maybe if I quit posting other peoples stuff? ... naaaaa 

I tuned out pep talks a long time ago.
Not every meal must be worthy of Instagram.

It’s okay to eat ugly snacks.

Not every day needs to be seized with zeal.

It’s okay to get work done without fake enthusiasm.

Not every human interaction is deep and layered with meaning.

It’s okay to make polite transactions.

Not every special sunbeam is an inspiration.

It’s okay to be underwhelmed.

Not every task is an opportunity to be awesome.

It’s okay to just do the chores.

Not every mistake is cause for concern.

It’s okay to be more human than machine.

Not every moment is motivational.

It’s okay to need to take a rest.

Not every action has to be amazingly ambitious.

It’s okay to do the pragmatic work.

Not every moment has to be mindful.

It’s okay to do some things on autopilot.

Not every emergency is yours to respond to.

It’s okay to have your own priorities.

Not every accomplishment is newsworthy.

It’s okay to be privately proud.

Not everyone has to adore you.

It’s okay to be yourself.

Not every call needs to be returned.

It’s okay to ignore emotional spam.

Not every day has to be great.

Sometimes just surviving is enough.
