Harmonious Action

By Abe Newmeyer, May 1, 2020

Work & BusinessWriting & Creation

In working towards my fulfillment of purpose, what’s become apparent is my need to develop certain traits, skills, mentalities, and disciplines. I’ve written and read about creating win/win scenarios and what’s good for the goose is good for the gander. Simply put, it’s not just enough to know it but I need to implement it as well.

That being said, I’ve been looking at areas I lack certain skills but are needed to get what I need accomplished. One such area is a social platform to accelerate my success in selling my latest release. I don’t believe I should approach others without offering them something in return so the idea came of creating a win/win. I’ve mentioned this before but it felt as if I needed to say it once more.

Next, my plan requires me to lead and compel others, no remotely interested in my purpose fulfillment, to work together in helping me accomplish my purpose. It’s something I’ve struggled with as I’m not able to find or convey a great enough reason for them to move forward. I’ll ask for more direction and I will receive an answer. When I ask Him, my questions will be clear, concise, and sincere. They will also come with a deadline of a day or two. It’s imperative that I move quickly to get things accomplished. I’m currently in a position that will probably not arrive for years or perhaps never again.

Today, Friday, May 1, 2020, I am grateful that:

What I have and what I need are evident. If I were travelling for two weeks, I know what items were required for my trip based on destination, events during the stay, length of stay, accommodations, etc. It’s the same with fulfilling my purpose. I know what skills and traits are needed. Now I have to either acquire them or leverage the skills of others. If leveraging others, I need to compel them to assist and also compensate them for what they offer.

My website is completed. I don’t really like the landing page and for what’s immediately to follow, it’s not suitable. I will either pay or create a landing page in the next day or two. I will also work on my plan and fine tune its points as there are a few aspects of execution I’m uncertain of.

Over the past few years, I’ve worked at either acquiring or developing the tools needed to fulfill my purpose. More is needed, or course, but having a clear picture of where I’m going has led to me acquiring certain things along the way. Whether software, books, or other services, I’ve been fortunate enough to acquire those things and now as I’m implementing another phase of development, I have the tools. The challenging part is I’ve been negligent in their mastery and have to learn or relearn how to use those tools once more.

What skills will you need to fulfill your purpose?

What skills do you already possess?

How do you work to master those skills?

If you don’t have those skills at present, do they inhibit the execution of your immediate plan?

Who can you approach to leverage their skills and accelerate your progress?

What can you offer for the service they provide in helping you accomplish your purpose?

How will you deliver your proposal?

Be Great. Be Grateful?
