Commitment

The difference is as simple as bacon and eggs. The chicken was involved, the pig was committed. Yep, I’ve said and heard it before and I’m facing the same decision once again.

I committed to finishing my next two books while in the Phillipines and I have moved forward with that commitment in mind. Yet, the challenges are real and obvious. It’s becoming more and more challenging to maintain resolve. My commitment level seems to dwindle and my resolve is weakening. I’m am still focused and I believe I possess a level of resilience very few individuals breathing possess, yet here I sit and write. Perplexed with the enormity of the task before me and the obstacles in my path. My resolve weakens.

I’d love to say I have some magic pill to take but the reality is something is missing. Not sure what that something is but it’s typically action or rather, right action. So today, after completion of my edits, I’ll refocus and develop another plan accounting for my current state and begin to move in earnest for its completion.

Today, Wednesday, March 27, 2019, I am grateful that:

I haven’t given up quite yet. As long as I breath, there is hope. I may not be able to see my way out of my current situation but I know there’s a way out.

I have an existing and ever expanding network of like minded individuals within my circle. My network has not only been great over the years but it’s every increasing in diversity and depth. I’ve been fortunate to meet those further along the path I currently trudge and I’ve been fortunate enough from their experience. I’ve been able to avoid similar pitfalls. “Experience is the best teacher” - it doesn’t have to be my experience, someone else’s works well.

Serve Gratefully. Be Impactfully.
