The burnt toast theory is quite an interesting concept. We always hope for a great head start to our day, whether it is going to our workplace or going for a trip. If anything goes wrong at the start itself, we get annoyed, preferably irritated and also sometimes grumpy through out the day. For instance, if we burn a slice of toast while preparing our breakfast. The burnt toast theory proposes that, its always a good idea to scrap off the burnt part and enjoy your toast.

Similarly in life, we should acknowledge that things might not be perfect. We have glorified perfection as though we do not belong to the class of sapiens. We are humans, packed with emotions and practicality all at the same time. Striking a balance between them can be a task on some days. Hence on such days we can let go off the inner "the perfectionist " we assume we are and enjoy the mistakes along the way.

Some days the extra time we took to make a new toast would have saved us from that accident or from any unfortunate event unknowingly. As professionals, we may have faced setbacks during certain events, but that should not keep us from going ahead. Learning from our mistakes and accepting challenging days is a gamechanger.

So, with this theory, lets scrap off the burnt part and enjoy the rest of the toast happily.

Hope you had a good read and a good weekend as well.

Cheers.
