Grinding

By Abe Newmeyer, April 16, 2019

Decisions & ActionWork & Business

Deferred gratification is a B**ch!!!

Yep, I said it. I’m really getting tired of grinding and putting in the action and not getting the results. The only thing I can think of at the moment is that maybe the action is the result.

I’ve invested more time about 18 months into publishing “Glimpses of Grace.” I’ve invested another five or six months into “Lezur” and it’s not yet finished. I’m not sure how long it’ll take to finish “A Better View” but probably six months or so. I’m putting in the effort and putting in the work. Taking the action and leaving the results in His hands, yet I’m really dissatisfied with the results. Lack luster book sales, a lousy attitude, only one writing credit to my name, and nothing resembling financial security. It may very well be time to reevaluate my plan of action for accomplishing my purpose.

Today, Tuesday, April 16, 2019, I am grateful that:

I’m willing to look at other options. The way I’ve been things may not be the best and most effective way to accomplish my purpose so I may need to develop and implement another tactic while staying focused on the same strategy.

I have options. I have three opportunities, aside from writing and speaking, which will make me financially comfortable. It’s good to have options.

I am willing to move within my realm of influence. I have an in-depth working knowledge of several industries. I need to figure out one to focus my efforts on and move towards monetizing my knowledge to secure my financial well being.

Narrow Your Focus. Be Impactful
