Remaining Resolute

This has been challenging, not the last 60 plus days of “Enhanced Community Quarantine” and not living in another country specifically but life in general. Before determining my purpose things seemed a bit less challenging. Sometimes as if things simply fell into place with little to no effort. But now, it’s seemingly requiring more and more effort. Worse yet, the effort I’m putting forth as yet to yield rewards which has left my vigor slowly vanishing.

My resolve is being tested. I’ve been in similar situations before and I’ve yielded. I’ve become distracted and undetermined. I’ve lost sight of my objective and drifted away on another adventure, typically another job or career with little to no satisfaction. That’s my history and I’m choosing not to repeat it.

I’ll remain resolute, defined as admirably purposeful, determined, and unwavering. I’ll commune, once more and more intensely than previously, with my Creator. I’ll summon His grace. I’ll ask for persistence, patience, and a positive attitude. I’ll ask for people with a platform large enough to catapult me into another level of existence. I’ll ask for the comfort of knowing His presence.

Today, Saturday, May 16, 2020, I am grateful that:

Some solutions are evident. I’d been struggling for the last few days and as I’m writing this, the answer revealed itself. I’ve not been communing as intensely as before. I’ve slacked off a bit over the last week and my efforts have waned. I’m happy the answer was just revealed.

When times get challenging, I have enough experience to look back on my history, see where I’ve had similar experiences, made different choices, and was unhappy with those choices. I don’t have to repeat the past.

I was able to begin formatting Be Great Be Grateful today. It’s started but not completed. I’ll work on its completion tomorrow. I’ll also make progress on the landing page and work towards my purpose once more. But only after some intimate, productive, and much needed time with Him.

When do you set aside time with your Creator?

What happens when you no longer feel that presence?

How do you rekindle that relationship?

Will you repeat prior choices or march boldly into the unknown?

When it gets challenging, what will you do to remain resolute?

Be Great. Be Grateful!!!
