Originally coined by Shakespeare in Hamlet, the phrase means being blown up by your own bomb ~ undone by your own plan!

Which, let’s be honest… happens.

So yes, this one is literally a blast from the past!

And a wry nod to the human condition:

We scheme
We calculate
We overthink
And sometimes detonate!

But there’s something deeply comforting about owning the misfire. Laughing at the backfire. Wearing the lesson like a badge instead being all busted up!

This one is for the “Well… that escalated quickly” crowd!

An old phrase
A timeless truth
And still a modern humility!

You’ll know better next time!
