Amicably Adaptable

My goal is to write this list five days per week. Most weeks I do so and it’s not even a challenge. I’ve had the occasion to force the writing to everyday and it usually felt mechanical and disingenuous. Today is my first day writing since last week and although I was willing, certain circumstances prevented me from writing.

I’ve been doing this for long enough to know me and my intentions. I’m also aware that I, nor anyone, is judged based on our intentions. We are judged based on our actions. With that being said, this ain’t a job. My compensation is emotional and spiritual, not financial. Anyway, writing is a byproduct of self discipline and self awareness, plus my willingness to enhance my relationship with my Creator.

I’ve got to adapt and accept things as they are. I can be proactive and still have challenges. I can plan, implement, and execute and still have failure. I can put forth the effort with miniscule outcomes.

The beauty is in the effort. The benefits are from the action. Outcomes are not my business. Outcomes are a result of things beyond my control, meaning, I must do the work, but specific results are not guaranteed. In this I have to be agreeable and adaptable and continue striving towards what He would have me be.

Today, Tuesday, January 24, 2023, I am grateful that:

I get to put in the effort. Taking action has been one of my deficiencies in the past. It’s not part of my present and when and or if it appears in the future, me and my team will be aware of that shortcoming. Action is required and that’s my part. The specific outcomes from my actions are not guaranteed and that’s totally fine.

I’ve had meetings and put things in motion on two different fronts. One personal, the other business, and both are needed. I’m awaiting news from research, but I took the action needed to move things along and get some progress on those particular fronts.

I’ve received another contract offer today. I’ll send over my availability and hopefully, we’ll be able to start an amicable and productive relationship next week.

Do you adapt amicably or begrudgingly?

Do you adapt at all?

Be Great. Be Grateful!!!
