Mini Vacation
So for the last few days I’ve struggled with formatting and completing my newest release. Honestly, I just don’t want to do the work. I despise this part of the process and I’ve been putting it off. Sad thing is, I need to get it released so I can get an income stream started.
I’m in dire need of a cash flow, so much so I’ve been applying for positions where I can work remotely. I’m not interested in much, other than endeavors in writing or editing. I want to get really good master my craft. I’m beginning to obsess on some of history’s all time greats. Their thought processes, their work ethic, their determination and drive. I’m wondering should I choose to embark on that journey would I be considered the same?
Today, Friday, May 22, 2020, I am grateful that:
Once I start writing things feel normal. I’ve been putting off writing all day. Not because of this list but because of what’s next. I don’t enjoy formatting manuscripts. So my dysfunctional thought process is - don’t write, you don’t get finished, so you don’t have to format. Then, “Write something everyday” comes to mind and I’m here doing what needs to be done.
I can ignore my feelings and do what’s needed. I’ll format and edit at least one additional month tonight. It’s not pleasant but neither are most things worth doing at this point.
I’m realizing that He works through me. During a conversation with a friend of mine, who’ll remain nameless, we spoke of my financial situation. He remarked something like, “well maybe you’ll get to see how this God of yours works for you now.” I was kinda offended but then I thought, “Maybe you will get to see how this God of mine works.” We may not know how our actions affect others. This friend may be watching from a distance and my actions, my applied faith, may prove to be a piece of the bedrock of his foundation of faith. So I’ll indeed finish what’s needed thereby showing others what He can do when we trust Him and His plans.
Do you want to master your craft?
How many hours per day do you work at perfecting your talents?
Are you aware others may be observing your actions and you could prove a great example for them?
How will your actions today inspire others?
Be Great. Be Grateful!!!
