Every morning, we gather here to contemplate, plan, soak up inspiration, harvest motivation, and get jacked up on coffee and confidence for a day of kicking ass.
ALWAYS SAY GOOD MORNING TO YOUR HATERS. KILL THEM WITH KINDNESS. THAT’S A FREE LESSON FROM THE COLOR CHANGING LIZARD. DID YOU PUT MONDAY IN A CHOKEHOLD AND MAKE IT TAP OUT? GOOD — NOW IT’S ON TO THE NEXT ONE. TUESDAY IS AT THE PLATE. TIME TO BRING THE HEAT. NOTHING BUT FASTBALLS ALL DAY. STRIKE THIS MOTHERFUCKER OUT.
PREPARE YOUR MIND WITH SOME WORDS OF WISDOM FROM THE LATE GREAT ROBIN WILLIAMS.
Carpe diem. Seize the day. Such a simple yet effective strategy. If you live every day with passion, give every challenge you face your utmost attention and effort, and take not for granted a single experience you’re blessed with during your tenure on this earth, then when it’s time for you to kick the bucket, you’ll be ready. You’ll have nothing to fear, because you’ll know you did everything you could. Zero regrets. That’s the goal in life. Sometimes it can feel like that it’s impossible to truly live with zero regrets. Maybe it is. Nothing worth doing is easy. But that doesn’t mean you don’t try.
Try to leave this day with no regrets. And we’re not talking about the regret you feel when you get out-ordered at lunch. We’re talking about the regret you feel when you chicken out and don’t talk to the girl. When you don’t bet on yourself. When you don’t go to the gym after work, even though you were supposed to, because you’re tired. When you know you could get that promotion if you worked extra hours for the next few months, but you’re really into a new Netflix show. Never let yourself deserve that kind of regret, and you’ll die happy and fulfilled. Simple enough, right?
Don’t be a pussy.
What’s on your schedule this morning? What are you going to conquer today? Let us know in the comments section below. Positivity only. Build the energy. Come correct or don’t come at all..

MAKING VALENTINE CARDS THIS MORNING. I WRITE THE BEST VALENTINE CARDS, BELIEVE ME. ‘CHINA KEEPS BEATING US IN TRADE – BUT I WOULDN’T TRADE YOU FOR THE WORLD’. GOING TO BE CLOSING AT THE OFFICE TODAY AND AT HOME TONIGHT!
I laughed at this more than I probably should have.
Everyone knows I make the best Valentines Day cards. You know it I know it, everyone knows it. (Source: believe me)
This was funny. Well done.
“Don’t be a pussy.” Solid. That should become a workplace motto.
In awesome news that doesn’t piss me off, I found a small coffee joint that opens at 5 here so I can get my first dose of self-medication on the way to work. Owned by a kind old lady who greets you by name and gives you life advice every time you walk in the door. She gives me the sweet sauce of consciousness, I give her a dirty joke in return. She actually likes it.
THAT TOOK A WEIRD TURN AT THE END
Early into the office. Baseball is soon upon us. Couldn’t be happier. Give it hell today, everybody! May your day go smoother than a Ken Griffey swing.
The sweetest follow through the Lord ever did make right there.
This gets me excited…. in the naughty way.
Sup?
Gotta hit the office an hour early so we can meet deadlines for the print edition. There’s a thunderstorm raging outside, but today: I AM THE THUNDER
Facing a little adversity this morning: turns out that the only K cups we have left in the office are half-caff. Not quite sure why we even buy them, as it kind of defeats the purpose of the beverage. Anyway…going to spend my lunch break today shopping for motorcycles. Why wait until I’m in my late 30s to have a mid-life crisis? Plus, if the whole motorcycle thing doesn’t pan out–in a really bad way–at least I have a promising future as an organ donor
In the office real early today to close deals with major banks and pad my stats for bonus season. Also close the deal and lock down a date with a lovely lady from A/R.
Went to the gym this morning. Forgot my belt and dress socks. So I feel good, but look like a doofus.
HUNG OVER AS SHIT BUT I HAVE MY FREE COFFEE FROM DD SO I REGRET NOTHING. Except the fact that everyone in the office thought I had a girlfriend and I’m miserable today because we just broke up, even though I haven’t been in a relationship the entire time I’ve had this job.
Today is the day I cross everything off my to-do list. It’s going to be a long day but worth it once it’s all completed. Happy Valentine’s Day y’all!
LOVE THE MAJOR LEAGUE REFERENCE. Setting up a new job interview, scheduling time to look at new apartments, and just fucking crushing this whole life thing. Woke up feeling great and I intend to go to bed feeling the same way. Happy Valentine’s Day!
