Disturbances, Delays, and Distractions

Three items with one thing in common - keeping me from fulfilling my purpose. These three things adapt and take many shapes and sizes, but the end result is the same, if I allow it. In more instances than I care to admit or acknowledge, I’ve allowed these things to stop my progress. Under the guise of flexibility, adapting, or going with the flow of life, I’ve had my progress thwarted. As I sit here, fingers on the keyboard, rigidity comes to mind.

Originally from Latin, meaning stiffness, it’s directly opposed or opposite of flexibility. I pride myself on my flexibility and willingness to adapt and morph in situations. Yet, this may be my downfall or cause of my current situation. It’ll take a bit more appraising, but it may be true. Discipline is the adherence to a code of conduct or behavior and maybe, just maybe, my ignorance to adhere to the code has caused me to foster and embrace flexibility.

I’m going to have to really look and evaluate this proposal I set forth. It may be the “taproot” of my current and previous circumstances in life. I’m uncertain and although I want to stop writing and dig deeper, I need to finish this for myself knowing it may help others as well. This is one of the magical effects of writing in the mornings. Before life throws itself at us, clear mind, clear thoughts, guide my fingers and my willingness to put these thoughts in some sort of tangible means has yielded numerous benefits over the years.

Today, Thursday, August 15, 2024, I am grateful that:

I had an epiphany. The thought of flexibility versus rigidity and discipline has been on my mind since it popped into my mind. I’ve walked around, drank some coffee, even played a bit on an app on my phone and it’s still top of mind. We’ll see how this grows as time goes on.

Implementation is not my obstacle. I’ve had challenges implementing ideas in the past, but that’s my history not my present. I no longer allow my past to dictate my present or my future. I am not okay with that type of behavior or thinking and happy that’s the case.

My abundance mindset is returning. It’s not at the top of my mind at all times, but scarcity isn’t either. I’ve got enough to get things done. I have more than enough in most instances and when there isn’t enough, I only have to ask and I have always received.

Is it rigidity, ignorance, or flexibility preventing you and your progress?

How can you eliminate or lessen said item?

Do that now and moving forward.

Abe,

Be Greater!!!
