Moving Mountains

By Abe Newmeyer, July 12, 2023

Decisions & ActionWriting & Creation

There’s an old adage along the lines of “His faith will allow him to move a mountain with a spoon.” I’m not entirely sure if that’s precise, but it brings to mind a point to make. Action is the keyword. Action is the thing. Action separates doers and thinkers. Action gets things done.

Our minds are powerful as they command our bodies. Our bodies are the only machines which get stronger the more you use them. We, you and I, have an immeasurable power between our ears, resting upon our shoulders.

It begins with thoughts, those sometimes fleeting, elusive, and even whimsical things. Those can be dangerous; however, the most dangerous are those thoughts upon which we obsess. Thoughts which make us lose sleep, forget to eat, and ignore incoming calls and emails. Those are the keys to the kingdom. For within those thoughts lie the seeds of success.

Sustained, focused, intense thoughts lead us to clarity. Within that clarity rest persistence and perseverance. The inability to yield, cause we couldn’t stop thinking about it if we wanted to. These are the things which could cause us to begin moving a mountain with a spoon.

Today, Wednesday, July 12, 2023, I am grateful that:

A convergence of delightful events transpired. Within the span of about 36 hours, I went from a drought of six weeks without a contract to three contracts at my asking rate. Two have begun with the other beginning in less than a week.

The power of my lists are becoming apparent once more. Not sure what it is about my inability to recall the impact these brief writing sessions have on my life, but I started writing on Monday and with only two days of writing a six week drought ended. I don’t believe in coincidences.

I’ve made great progress towards my commitment to Lisa. It’s less than a week away and I’m not entirely sure if I’ll be able to get my three items completed, but I’m further along than if I hadn’t begun.

Are you able to have clarity of thoughts?

Does that clarity manifest in your actions?

Are you consistent in your actions? Do you relent and don’t know why?

Be Great. Be Grateful!!!
