Measure Twice, Cut Once

Whoever said it was right. When I take my time, prepare my plan, then execute it’s much better. I’m living in the Philippines at the moment. I didn’t plan. I just came here. My plan was buy a ticket and make it work. It’s extremely comfortable.

Comfort is not my priority, consistent action towards the fulfillment of my purpose. If you have discovered your purpose, how will you accomplish said purpose. What’s your plan? How long will it take? What skills will you need to develop? What people will you need to meet? How much time will you invest daily into its fulfillment?

Those questions and many more are a sampling of the ones I’ve been asking myself over the last couple of years. At last its beginning to manifest itself. I’m nearly there. Not to my ultimate fulfillment but rather inching a bit closer along the path. It’s a journey, a process.

Today, Thursday, May 30, 2019, I am grateful that:

I’m making progress. The progress isn’t as much or as fast as I’d like but it’s progress nonetheless.

I’ve remained resolute in my mission. For more times than I’d care to recall, I’ve stopped short. I’ve gotten distracted or bored or faced some sort of obstacle and stopped. But not in this instance. I’ve continued through uniquely challenging and insufferably painful episodes only to emerge on the other side of the incident more convinced than before of my reasons for continuing.

Even with a great plan I must remain flexible. Plans change - they evolve. It’s as if they’re living organisms with a life of their own. The more I manipulate in one area the more it morphs in another. I must remain steadfast in strategy and flexible in my tactic.

Take Action, Develop Your Plan. Be Impactful!
