Be Impeccable

I’m having a rough start today. After only five or six hours of sleep last night, following no sleep the previous night, I’m really lethargic. My thoughts aren’t as fluid and I’m struggling to be productive during my sessions with my web design team. I travelled to Dumaguete specifically for this reason and earlier I was thinking I haven’t really maximized the opportunity.

I also planned to travel to Bacolod. Leaving today and returning to Cebu either Friday or Saturday but after the last couple of days I’m contemplating not going. I’d made plans with “Doc” when we met New Year’s Eve. My Pop’s used to say “A man’s only as good as his word.” One of the Four Agreements states, “Be impeccable with your word.” Although I’m not feeling well and really not in the “mood” for the six hour commute via bus, I will travel to Bacolod today.

Today, Wednesday, January 8, 2020, I am grateful that:

I’ve completed my photo and video shoots. This commitment has been on the calendar for nearly a month and I’ve needed to have a website built for over a year so I’m happy to be making progress towards the goal.

I’m getting better at eliminating distractions. Yesterday I was setup with a girl, a friend of my site builder’s sister. We met briefly and made plans to meet again for lunch today. After several text messages containing excuses, I’ve chosen to not reply and move on. It’s best, for me, to not get bogged down with the conditions of others and focus on my reasons for being in this country. Should a partner present themselves, I’ll make every effort to develop and nurture than relationship; however, I’m not chasing anyone any longer.

I am heading to Bacolod later today. It’ll be a brief retreat and serve a dual purpose of scouting location for another place to live. Rent’s been paid until February but I’ve grown tired of Cebu and living in Bacolod might be another option so I’ll look for places to live while I’m visiting.

Stay Focused. Eliminate Distractions and “Time Vampires”

Be Great. Be Grateful!!!
