Changing States

One definition of “state” is: the particular condition that someone or something is in at a specific time.

When writing initially I required a particular state. Now, after a couple years of experience, I can simply write. It’s better in the mornings but I’ve been known to write at various times of time.

After a discussion with a buddy, Daniel, I’ve realized I don’t require a certain state for writing my gratitude list. The last couple of weeks have been uncomfortable. It’s been challenging to say the least. Without exception, I’ve written my gratitude list. Only because I “feel” better having written something for the day. It’s a great way to start the day. The list gets me in the right state.

Today, Tuesday, May 14, 2019, I am grateful that:

I’ve learned another lesson. The state required to write my gratitude list isn’t as important as the state derived from writing the list. It’s more vital to have the correct for the remainder of the day versus the few minutes needed to write a gratitude list.

I write the list even when I don’t “feel” like writing. It’s an exercise in discipline.

I’m willing to learn new lessons. After the conversation with Daniel I’m learning I need more discipline. Concentrated, consistent, and persistent discipline is required for the me to accomplish my purpose. I have the discipline. I do what’s required to fulfill my purpose.
