And the more I thought about the problems, the more I felt like a human pot roast marinating in bed.

And it became harder and harder to get out of bed.

And, you know, honestly, I was literally, I knew what to do.

And I think this is one of the biggest things about life.

that life is simple we just seem to make it very complicated yeah you can know what to do in any situation you guys talk about the google just go to google or that chat gtp thing and put in whatever it is that you want it'll spit out what you need to do making yourself do it is what feels impossible and so one night i was watching tv it was a it was monday night in february 2008

And you literally are one decision away from a different life.

That is the heart of what I talk about, the power of your decisions.

And I was giving myself that pep talk, you know, when you, I don't know if you guys have ever, you can give each other pep talks, but when you're giving one to yourself, you're kind of screwed, where you're like, all right, that's it, tomorrow it's the new you, woman.

You gotta pull your shit together.

You gotta stop being an asshole to Chris.

You gotta put down the alcohol.

You gotta get those kids on the bus.

By God, you gotta get a job.

You gotta open the bills that have been piling up for six months.

And when that alarm rings, you can't lay there and marinate in your fears and hit the snooze button six times.

You, woman, have gotta get out of bed.

And honest to God,

a rocket ship launched across the television screen.

It was probably like at the end of a smartless mobile commercial, you know, like launch right in there.

Right?
