Hey hey kids—yes, it's another slightly-late-but-definitely-worth-it episode of the FWACATA Monday Motivation Podcast. I know, I know… we missed last week. But it’s summer, and without the structure of a school week, I’ve entered that magical zone where time is fake and weekends are theoretical.
So what’s today’s sermon from the Church of FWACATA? Simple: check your expectations before they wreck your attitude.
This week I talk about how something as dumb as traffic, a melted cheeseburger, and a detour involving a pony (yes, an actual pony) can either ruin your day—or make it a reminder that life’s pretty damn good.
We often get mad because things don’t go the way we expected. Not because something actually terrible happened, but because we created some fantasy version of reality and got mad when the real world didn’t follow the script. El Paso summer heat? Inevitable. Traffic on I-10? Of course. But somehow, we still let that stuff light our fuse like it’s some injustice.
But here’s the thing: the difference between a good day and a meltdown is sometimes just catching yourself before you go full a-hole.
So this episode?
It’s about petting ponies, swearing at traffic, embracing your inner idiot, and being okay with admitting when you’re being the problem.
You’ll laugh. You’ll maybe wince in recognition. And you’ll (hopefully) start your week off a little more grounded, a little more grateful, and a little less likely to scream at the guy in line at the post office.
