Picking Partners

It’s one thing to have relationships with people, but partnerships are quite different. Partnerships are people engaged in the same activity. What I’ve found is my current state is attracting people looking for me to engage in their activity, not them engaged in mine.

The challenge with the setup is when I’m not moving towards my purpose and its fulfillment I’m committing spiritual suicide. Discernment has been granted in this regard so I’m only developing and formulating partnerships in this regard. A previous version of myself would have considered this behavior selfish.

What I know as truth today is that it’s not selfish. It’s the ability to say no to distractions in any form. Potential partners, friendships, personal and business relationships all fall into this category. If not facilitating the advancement of my purpose it’s simply a distraction and I must not invest my time and effort into those things not relevant to purpose and its fulfillment.

Today, Tuesday, June 14, 2022, I am grateful:

I had the chance to grab coffee and lunch with Dale yesterday. I wasn’t aware he was in town, but we made time to hang out for a bit. It was refreshing.

Jake invited me to dinner with his team. Over the last few weeks that partnership is developing into something that’s looking mutually beneficial. We’ll see how it continues in the future.

D.C. and I got a chance to catch up after months of intermittent conversations. One on one is where most things of significance tend to happen. So the ability to meet and converse in that setting was truly beneficial.

How do you determine when and where your time and energy?

How do you grow those partnerships you deem worthy of your energy?

When you determine your partnerships aren’t mutually beneficial, how do you sever them?

Be Great. Be Grateful!!!
