One Bite At A Time

That’s how elephants are eaten and how the most Herculean tasks are accomplished, a bit at a time. Start small but start. In line with advice from Herb about writing something everyday, it doesn’t matter how much is done, as much as, something being done.

Over the last month or so, I’ve written a couple of professional bios for clients. Not exactly setting the literary world on fire but something is better than nothing. The writing isn’t as challenging as some items, particularly novels. I find it thrilling being able to distill a client's entire career into about 100 words or so. Takes a bit of time, but so does writing a 50,000 word novel. Anyhow, I’m stretching and developing my craft, mastering my gift, and for that, I’ve been purposed.

Today, Sunday, April 5, 2020, I am grateful that:

I had the chance to write another bio. First draft is done and I’ll gather feedback from my client and tweek it accordingly.

It was a laid back day. I didn’t stress out too much with the plots of my latest novel but rather I shifted my attention to the bio. The plot and character development will continue as I’ll put pen to paper next week and sketch out the story.

I was willing to ask for assistance. While watching a video today of an interview about President Trump and his speech patterns, the insights of the linguist were so insightful, I decided to email and ask for some assistance. Within a few hours, he responded. His suggestions were insightful and I’ll work towards implementing them into my speech patterns. The feedback wouldn’t have been received, had I not been willing to ask for help, from a total stranger.

Are you willing to be vulnerable and ask of help from others?

Can you take one bite today?

What small task can you accomplish today enroute to something greater?

How will finishing that small task help you fulfill your purpose?

Be Great. Be Grateful!!!
