No Title

Discipline & HabitsProgress & Getting Better

“Write to the title” one of many great tips I’ve received from my writing mentor Herb. I have no title so it’s curious what this writing will contain. I’m weary of mandatory confinement. Much of my daily routine remains unchanged, yet my afternoons are less eventful without my walks to the mall and occasional dinner with friends.

We’re all creatures of habit. I’ve done my best over the last few years to change some habits. Less productive, not conducive to my purpose habits, that have inhibited my growth. I’ve traversed uncomfortable emotions and emerged on the other side of the chasm of mediocrity.

I’ll continue to evolve, eliminating or shedding those things no longer needed and develop those skills mandatory for fulfillment of my purpose. I’ll continue to do what’s needed. But that’s long term, short term objectives remain: Eliminate day to day boredom.

Today, Thursday, April 2, 2020, I am grateful that:

I’m doing some things to increase my productivity. I’ve submitted two book covers for publication. I’ve also completed edits for my novel. Uncertain if I’ll submit under a penname, but it’s done.

Roni has what she needs. I don’t have much but I have enough to make sure my needs and hers are met. It’s a different feeling, making sure someone else’s needs are met. I’m not an excellent provider but I’m certain, as with every other experience, I’ll improve.

This particular “free time” has allowed me to invest more time in several relationships I feel will be vital in the not too distant future. I’m also happy that the individuals with whom I’ve invested my time have reciprocated.

How will you invest your time? With family, friends, learn another language?

What habit(s) have you eliminated? How has that made you a better person?

How can you leverage your existing skills to help others?

Who can you help today? Deliver food, a smile, or a friendly text message.

Be Great. Be Grateful!!!
