The 365 Commitment

Yhprum’s Law

A Westpoint cadet with the last name Murphy, coined the concept that we now refer to as Murphy’s law. If something can go wrong, it will go wrong. A great way to think through a plan is to ask the question, what could go wrong?

Learned today about Yhprum’s law. Murphy spelled backwards. The idea to contemplate is that what could go well, will go well. Sometimes we worry so much about the bad things that can happen, we are just not ready when something good when it comes. Missed opportunities are the single barrier to our success.
