Quiet Contemplation
For about an hour I’ve been sitting quietly, listening to my morning routine music and thinking of what’s next. There’s much to be done with many moving components, people, products, and services. Execution of my plan must be flawless.
When action isn’t evident, quietly contemplate. The next course of action will be apparent.
Today, Friday, September 27, 2019, I am grateful that:
I was able to develop a small relationship with Ronnie. Today is his birthday and I awoke thinking of him. I was actually thinking of him last night, my mom too. It’s been 24 years and I still think of him, his death, and his memories are bittersweet.
I can remember but not relive the experience. For a while after his death and the death of others close, I would remember and relive the experience. Now, I can remember them with fondness but not relive the horrific experiences. Last conversations, last disagreements, and last breaths are not part of my memories. Mostly the good experiences and feelings of fondness.
As my plans become apparent I take action. Until my path is clearly defined, I wait. I prepare but take no action until my course is evident. Patience is growing as I know I’ve got plenty of time to accomplish all He has commissioned.
Sit Quietly. Listen. Be Impactful!
