Think about it.
Tonight is Mischief Night!
According to holidayinsights.com, Mischief Night is, “an evening when people traditionally participated in harmless (please) mischief. We stress harmless or innocent mischief. Other forms of mischief can lead to big trouble. Even seemingly harmless mischief can be the source of problems.
This night is discouraged by law enforcement organizations. The mischief is sometimes less than funny, and can even lead to vandalism or destructive.
Important: We neither encourage, nor endorse participation in this day. Why risk getting in trouble??
Historically, some common forms of mischief on this has included:
- Soaping windows
- Egging houses and cars
- Tossing a few rotten tomatoes
- Toilet papering house trees, etc.
- Knocking on doors, then running away”
However, why not have a little mischief in our own personal lives? Is there something you have been wanting to do in your life, but have not? Live a little, if only tonight, and think of how your life would be if you made some changes you wanted to. It may not be easy and you need to way the pros and cons, but thinking and doing are to separate things. So, maybe do that ever important step in between and start doing some planning. If it is something you know you want to do… how about outline the steps backwards? Start at the end goal. What did you do right before the goal became true? What happened before that? The step before that? The step that happened in order for that step to be taken and so on until you get to the very first step.
If we all stuck with the status quo, life would never be exciting and as a society we would not be where we are today. So, be a little mischievous in your life and take the first step.
As Martin Luther King, Jr. said, “Faith is taking the first step even when you don’t see the whole staircase.”
Tomorrow: It’s Halloween!
