Oops, I Did It Again 🙃

You won’t like to admit it, but here’s the hard truth:

You’re wrong.
You’ve been wrong before.
And you’ll be wrong again.

It may feel like a knockout punch to the jaw from Mike Tyson.

But guess what?

That’s B.A. OK! 👊

Do you whisper to yourself “Gosh, idiot” in Napoleon Dynamite’s voice like I do?

Because sh it happens.  Like a lot.

Usually we just shrug it off, saying “No Biggie!”

Mistakes are inevitable. Typos. Missed texts. Double-booked plans. Forgetting the milk 🥛.

Life is full of slip-ups. 🍌

But mistakes aren’t just the conclusion, they’re the lesson in the middle.

We’re not perfect.  We’re human.

I Don’t Wanna Grow Up 🦒

As kids, remember how badly we wanted to be older?

Yeah… that came with bills, deadlines, and insurance premiums 🤮.

Really miss the simple days of teenage life,
just driving around town with your friends,
Blasting our favorite music with the windows down,
having the time of our lives. 

Ahhhhh, to be young again 👶🏻

Suddenly, we’re the adults. (Yikes.) Not all it was cracked up to be, I guess.

Who tf thought this was a good idea?!?

Kinda like Buddy the Elf finding out his father was on the naughty list 🧑🏼‍🎄

If you’re as lucky as we are, your folks gave you a good head on your shoulders.

They taught you everything they possibly could.

It seemed our parents had it all figured out, when we realize

They were winging it too. Just like us.

Adulting = making mistakes, learning the hard way, and trying not to repeat them.
🍺 Lesson learned: don’t try to outdrink your dad. Right Becka?

Forged in Futility ⚔️

You’re going to fail. It’ll hurt. You’ll learn. 🤓
You’ll feel lost. It’ll be scary. You’ll find your way. 🛣️
You’ll be confused. It’ll be a struggle. You’ll figure it out. 🧩
You’ll feel betrayed.  It’ll tempt your character. You’ll be stronger. 💪🏼

Without that little voice in your head telling you to keep going,
you may just stay stuck in fear and loathing of normal dilemmas.

Every obstacle either breaks you down or builds you up. The choice is YOURS.

It might suck.  It might be scary.  But not as bad as the alternative

Avoiding the problems until they become imminent.

Or worse: Not doing it at all 🚫

You’d rather redirect your energy towards the fun stuff.

But complaining or blaming or pointing fingers or deflecting away….

None of that will get you anywhere worth going.

So next time life slaps you in the face, don’t react with “Why me?”

Say: “I got this.”

Look not to find your own happiness, but why the world needs you and joy will follow.

👉 Don’t make it a you problem. Make it a you solution. 🟰

Dwelling in the Dumps 🚫

If your inner voice sounds like:

• “I don’t have time.”

• “I’m too old.”

• “I’m not good enough.”

…you’re sabotaging yourself before you even start.

A baby doesn’t quit walking because they fall. 👶🏻

They get up. They wobble. They try again.

Now you will too.

Change your mindset from "that won't work." 😠 to "how could that work?" 🤔

We’ve all heard the saying “Fool me once, shame on you.  Fool me twice, shame on me.”

We’d be fools not to take full advantage of this life we’ve been blessed with.

And Mama didn’t raise no fool!

A Lot Going On At The Moment 🌀

We’re all busy. But busyness is not an excuse to stay stuck.

If you feel you’ve been through a lot, use that as your fuel to blast off into space.

All of the mistakes you’ve made thus far aren’t insignificant

You’ve learned from them and made you who you are

With access to unlimited resources and knowledge at our fingertips, 📲
we can harness that power to divulge into a position of control instead of passive focus.

Technology gives us every tool to stay in control—but only if we use it.

The truth? Nothing feels better than correcting a past mistake and proving to yourself:

“I can do it better this time.” ✅

If you're afraid to fail because people might judge you,
then you are stunting your growth as a person.

Because avoiding failure = avoiding success.

Dust yourself off and try again.

Here’s the Pitch ⚾

A coach once told his players after an error:
“You’re one pitch away from making a great play.”

That’s life. Shake it off. Next pitch. You got this.

Focus on you errors and you WILL make even more. 😖

Don’t settle for average.  Make sure to excel

Perfection? Nah.
But progress? Absolutely.

Mistakes happen. Learn from them. Own them. Move forward. 🚀

Now That’s B.A. 🏋🏻‍♂️
