So what if you didn’t conquer the world

So what if you didn’t conquer the world. You got out of bed this morning.

So what if you didn’t write the great American novel. Your Facebook post made somebody smile.

So what if you stayed up too late watching a movie you’ve seen 32 times in your life. At least you’re home with the rest of your family.

So what if your ship didn’t come in. At least your rowboat is paid for.

So what if you let a questionable word slip out. At least you remembered to compliment your wife earlier for a fantastic meal.

So what if you only managed baby steps the entire day today. At least you’re moving forward.

As for conquering the world? Eat some ice cream and enjoy some peaceful moments for yourself.

You can try and do better tomorrow.
