A Simple Reminder

By Abe Newmeyer, April 20, 2022

Relationships & Others

During a conversation with D.C. last night, he reminded me of some of my accomplishments. He reminded me of what I was capable of. He also informed me that I didn’t have to be a prisoner of the moment, meaning my present circumstance doesn’t dictate my future. I needed to hear all of those things.

It’s been challenging over the last few months. I’ve struggled with consistently bringing in what I’d like as far as new clients. It’s a slump and I’ve had those before, but for some reason I’d seem to have forgotten.

That’s what great about having long term relationships. When I lean on those who’ve known me for years, I get to hear about what they’ve done. And in the instance of last night, I get reminded of what I’ve done. Sometimes a simple reminder is what’s needed to propel you once again in the right direction with adequate velocity.

Today, Wednesday, April 20, 2022, I am grateful that:

I’ve built a strong network of champions. Those with expertise different from my own that when asked, willingly share their knowledge.

I have a large network. Not simply colleagues or coworkers, but friends. People I’ve known for years or decades. These relationships are proving more valuable as I get older.

I’ll finish one small personal project today. Honestly, I should have completed it long ago, but I procrastinated. So, I’ll get it done today and keep moving forward.

Do you remember who you are and what you’ve accomplished frequently?

How often do you need reminding? Like when you’re feeling down and unmotivated?

Who is your muse?

How often do you communicate?

How could you increase the frequency of communicating?

Be Great. Be Grateful!!!
