It May Take Longer Than You Think

Ran into a few obstacles moving yesterday and it’s taking longer than I thought. That’s life! Sometimes things take a bit longer than expected. Not everything works out as I’d planned. Not everything goes smoothly and effortlessly. Every prospect doesn’t say yes. Every client doesn’t pay on time. Every deal that sounds like a deal turns out to be a deal.

Life happens as I stated before. Conditions often change. My responsibility is to move forward, make progress, and adapt to those things beyond my control is what’s within my abilities. I have to remain flexible, yet persistent. There’s nothing worse than stopping short of the goal. To not arrive when I thought I would isn’t a tragedy. The tragedy is not arriving at all.

Today, Wednesday, June 22, 2022, I am grateful that:

Nick will help me move the remainder of my belongings tonight. It’s great to have a few friends willing to help.

I’m getting to a position I’ve been in previously. I’m searching for and finding opportunities. I’m in more of a hunter mentality today as compared to the last five or so years. It’s familiar, slightly uncomfortable, but is exactly what’s needed for this phase of my journey.

I’ve got an opportunity to submit for publication. The submission requires me to be succinct in every manner of my autobiography. Condensing my life into about 3,000 words will be a challenge, but I’ll happily accept.

How do you adapt?

Are you able to be flexible and persistent?

How do you deal with delays and detours?

How could you deal with those things more effectively?

Be Great. Be Grateful!!!
