Acting Responsibly

Meeting people, fellowshipping, and the like are all great but I still have work to perform. Yesterday while out and about I had to interrupt my evening with a call back stateside. I did. I made the call for more than one reason.

First, I needed the information. Crystal is an abundant resource in the area I’m diving into. Secondly, there’s only so much meeting and hanging out I can do without getting bored. Not drinking and seldomly dancing, there’s only so much time I can spend in nightclubs talking to women. Lastly, the possibility to secure an income stream remotely is my main objective today.

Today, Sunday, December 22, 2019, I am grateful that:

I made the call to Crystal. I accrued some charges for calling internationally but in my estimates, well worth the cost.

Crystal was available and we had a productive conversation. She asked intelligent and insightful questions that helped her better understand my objective and scheduled a time for us to do a screen share enabling me to see how to accomplish my tasks.

I set a clear cut boundary with “Angel.” For the last couple of weeks I’ve been tip-toeing around her and having a challenging conversation. Last night I said exactly what needed to be said. My problem with her specifically is lying. “White lies” are still lying and for me I have lowered my expectations to the point where I only expect people to do what they say. When that doesn’t happen it’s disappointing and frustrating. For weeks she’s repeated the same pattern and I informed “Angel” I’m no longer willing to abide by her rules. So I severed the relationship and I’m moving on to something and someone different.

How will you act responsibly? What boundaries will you draw?

Be Great. Be Grateful.
