Making Tough Choices

Typically, I don’t use relative terms like easy, hard, tough, and the like. I’ve changed my terminology to make it more relatable to everyone. Relative terms are not an accurate way to describe most instances for comparison. Yet, descriptors like uncomfortable can become more relatable on an individual basis.

Making tough choices is my title because some items are simply that. For me, this holiday weekend and for the remainder of this year, I’m in isolation. I’m not hanging out and socializing. I’m not visiting people and their families. I’m making some tough choices. I’m doing what’s best for me and my future. I’m doing what’s needed for my legacy. That’s tough, at least for me it’s tough.

In those quiet times, alone with my Creator, communing and listening, and asking for direction and guidance, is when I find what I need. These last few days of the year afford me an opportunity to lay the foundation for what’s coming. Without a proper plan, the ability to adhere to the plan, and execute it flawlessly, I’m destined to mediocrity.

Today, Thursday, December 22, 2022, I am grateful that:

I got to rest more today. I’m still not feeling well and it’s been roughly a week. I’m not a good patient and I simply want to feel normal once more.

I’ve matured to a point where I don’t care what others say. I’m willing to ignore what’s external and do the internal, more challenging work. Those on the outside are not my concern.

I get to work today. I haven’t always been afforded the chance and I’m happy to recognize it’s a privilege.

Will you do what’s best for you and your Creator’s purpose for you?

If not, what’s stopping you?

Be Great. Be Grateful!!!
