When the shit hits the fan

“When the Shit hits the fan” is an expression that I grew up with.

So naturally I assumed everyone knew what it meant, until someone asked me to please explain the meaning.

When looking online I had a chuckle to myself as I read the following definitions:
~ There was suddenly a lot of trouble or angry arguments.
~ This is when emotions break loose and people get hurt.
~ When something like an argument, fight or a problem happens and it turns bad.

Clearly these definitions have been written by people who have never fully experienced the shit hitting the fan.

Yes, you get an idea of what it means, but there is no depth to these definitions.

It’s more like all hell breaks loose.
Everyone loses their shit.
Everyone flings shit.
Everyone gets hit by shit.
It’s messy. It’s ugly. It stinks. And it hurts.

And the crazy thing about it, is that it doesn’t have to reach that point.

Why sit around waiting for it to happen?
We all know it’s coming.
It doesn’t just sneak up on us.

The stage is already set.
The fan is there.
The pile of shit is there, and growing.

All it takes is someone to switch on the fan, and the wheels are in motion. This is like the rumour that starts doing its rounds.

And that pile of shit that’s growing at your feet? Yip, you guessed it…

All it takes is one person to throw the first piece, and it’s GAME ON!

So before it reaches this point, you need to sort your shit out.

You need answers.
You need to know what your action plan will be.
You need to know what decisions you plan on making.

You need CLARITY, before the shit hits the fan.

Cos when it happens, it happens FAST, and it gets very ugly and very messy.

You need to reach out to figure your shit out in a hurry.

Don’t wait until it’s too late.
