One More Bite

It’s been said that you eat an elephant one bite at a time. I’ve been eating and eating and there’s more of the elephant remaining. In fact, most days it appears as if I’ve barely begun to eat. Peculiar metaphor this morning since I’m not hungry and I don’t usually eat breakfast, but I just write what comes to mind to get my point across.

My point being this - don’t stop. Even when the task seems enormous, do something. Take another bite. Do one more thing because that’s one less thing that’ll need to be completed. One less impediment in fulfilling your purpose.

Be mindful, the more you finish, the less you will have to get done.

Today, Monday, May 18, 2020, I am grateful that:

Most things in life are a matter of perspective. From my view, the elephant can look as if it’s so much more to be eaten. From another view, some could be amazed at how much has been eaten. I have to keep eating, keep focused, and not stop.

I have less to complete now than when I arrived in this country. I’ve been writing and now I’m on the cusp of having four additional titles published before the end of the year. Two this month, one additional title in June, and two more before the end of the summer of 2020. I’ve been eating but there’s more on my plate.

When given my opportunity, I’ve done my best to take advantage of it. I could have done more, sure, I’ve not maximized this opportunity but I’ve done more than I would have if I’d chosen to stay in America, get another job, and repeat my history.

Will you eat at least one bite per day?

From your list to help fulfill your purpose, what did you eat today?

Be Gluttonous. Don’t stop eating. Keep going no matter what.
