Lynn Toler Instagram – Dumb stuff happens all day long. You startle. You drop stuff. You miss a step and fall.
You’ll lose stuff. You’ll break something and then you’ll stub your toe.
Others will irritate you. Cut you off on the road. Give bad customer service. Say something insensitive…
If you collect all the dumb stuff that happens to you in a big box of ‘I’m Annoyed ’ it will get heavy enough to crush you even though the individual nonsense in said box has no real weight.
Bad stuff is gonna happen. I mean tough stuff. The thing is if you hang on to the small nonsense all along the way and feel all outdone by everything that doesn’t go quite right, when something really distressing happens you’re already emotionally raw and it will be much worse.
If your nonsense threshold is high you get to laugh at the small ridiculous stuff that doesn’t mean that much.
That way you’ll be fresh for the fight with the big stuff.
These two had an awkward moment that they decided to turn into comedy. Let’s all follow suit.
