Assimilation

The longer I live here in Cebu the more I’m becoming assimilated by its cultural undertones and customs. From language to processes, it’s fulfilling and frustrating simultaneously. For example, a custom here is an introduction, in business or social settings is the easiest way to get things accomplished.

It may be necessary for me to stay here much longer than expected and build a network of cohorts needed to fulfill my purpose. Though not my initial plans or thoughts, it may be exactly what’s needed to get things done, and if that’s the case, that’s exactly what I’ll do.

Today, Monday, November 18, 2019, I am grateful that:

More has been revealed. During a conversation with a newly acquired friend last night it became apparent the need to network with more Pinoys. Warm referrals and an introduction can definitely accelerate my plan and thereby my purpose fulfillment.

The healing process is well underway with my tooth. Pain is nearly nonexistent and the swelling has decreased. The extraction, more than likely, will be completed this week. The pain and the relief of taking appropriate action are something that was much needed, albeit not desired.

Beverly and I had a thoroughly satisfying conversation last night. From home purchases to career choices to educational paths to coaching choices with the Dallas Cowboys, as usual, we covered a vast array of topics.
