Stop shaking, you can't control it anyway.

Alright, I see "earthquake San Ramon" trending. And people are chattering. Worrying.

*HA!*

You know what an earthquake is? It's the ground moving. That’s it. You didn’t cause it. You can't stop it. So what the hell are you going to do about it? Nothing.

You can prepare, sure. Have your damn water, your flashlight, whatever. But once it hits? It either rips your house apart or it doesn't. You get hurt or you don't.

What I *do* see, though, is a hell of a lot of folks wasting energy on things they can’t control. Like freaking out about a damn earthquake. Or Wordle, Tommy. Or burnout, Frankie, when you’re just guessing words.

Here’s the truth: The ground shaking? Doesn't interest me. Your excuses? Doesn't interest me. What interests me is what you *do* with the time you have. Are you gonna suck less today? Or are you gonna stand there shaking?

Get after it. Head down, work, work, work.
