At The Crossroads

Along my journey, I’ve made numerous choices. Every decision we make come with consequences. I’m not about to sit back and pretend like I’ve relished in making a lifetime of great choices since that would be folly. What I can say is each and every decision I’ve made, I’ve accepted the consequences for my actions.

Pops would say, “A man’s only as good as his word.” I’ve given my word to others, to myself, and most importantly, to my Creator. I’ve chosen a path that I didn’t plan. I’ve chosen to walk a path that’s proven to be exceedingly arduous. I’ve trudged, sometimes unwillingly, as I’m aware that its my journey alone. As I contemplate my next decision, I’m at a crossroads.

I can continue along the path I’m walking, making slow progress. I can do those things I’ve been unwilling to do and see minimal yield from my efforts. Or, I can choose another way. I can choose something which I’ve been reluctant to do. My hesitancy has been from low self worth, some feelings of inadequacies, some doubts, and some contempt. The latter stems from my ability to digest and comprehend information in ways most others can not.

These things have swirled about for decades, popping up at the most inopportune moments. Today, I’m about eliminating or lessening deficiencies. One sure fire way is working or partnering with someone who’s strong in my weak areas. I’ll need to make some more decisions and I’ll need to make them quickly. It’s time to put things in motion and do so with all haste. Time is passing and so are opportunities and neither will wait.

Today, Monday, June 12, 2023, I am grateful that:

I finished my first video template. It was challenging and frustrating. It took much more time than I expected and I hated more than one step in the process. The good thing about getting the first one done is, I won’t ever have to do another first one. Each and every time I use a tool, I become more adept at using that tool and this tool is not an exception.

One preview review of the video was positive. I’ll wait on the others, but for now, I’m happy to have heard something positive over something I felt so frustrated by.

With two contracts on hold, my only two at the moment, I at least got something productive done. I’ll work on another opportunity today and see how much progress I can make.

Do you accept responsibility for your actions?

Is it someone else’s fault or yours?

Who helps hold you accountable? How many people? Who are they?

Be Great. Be Grateful!!!
