Challenging Days

“When the going gets tough, the tough get going” is an adage we’ve heard. Some days are tougher than others. Some moments require immense effort, while others require minimal energy. Today is the first rather than the last. It’s about my feelings, more specifically my emotions, as it’s slightly after noon and I’m only now writing.

Some days don’t start as planned. Some days don’t go as planned. Some days aren’t as productive as others. Yet, every single day is a day when He has awakened me to do His will. My purpose isn’t about how I feel. My purpose won’t be completed with delays from writer’s block. My reason for existence won’t change cause I got off to a slow start periodically. My task will only be completed by me doing what I need to, no matter how I feel.

The same is true for you. Ignore those feelings. Five or ten years from now you won’t likely remember how you felt today. But the results of what you finish today could lay and help secure the foundation of your future lifestyle. Be persistent. Be courageous. Be active.

Today, Friday, September 2, 2022, I am grateful that:

Mo and I got a chance to talk this morning. We hadn’t spoken in about a week or so and it was great to catch up. Great guy, great friend, and great to have someone be able to confide with what’s going on in his life and be supportive of them in their journey.

I’m not stressing too much about my current situation. I’m not powerless. I’m not a victim. I’m exactly where I’ve chosen to be. Either by action or inaction, my position in life can and will be changed by that one simple, yet powerful thing. Action.

I put a spreadsheet together yesterday and discovered the lifetime value of a client. It’s a significant sum. Especially considering that the majority of value is derived on a residual basis.

How can you be there for others?

What can you do today despite your feelings?

Be Great. Be Grateful!!!
