Remaining Resolute
What happens when life happens? When things don’t turn out the way you thought? When nothing goes according to plan? What then?
Over the last couple of years I’ve become more resolute. Resolute means admirably purposeful, determined, and unwavering. Over the years I’d defined myself as resilient which means able to withstand or recover quickly from difficult conditions. Although I consider myself resilient I’m currently thinking the most appropriate definition of myself is resolute.
So what are you going to do when life happens? When you lose your job? When you lose friends? When family members die? When you don’t which way is up? What then?
I can only share what I’ve done. I remained resolute. Yep, all of those things above and more have happened in the last few years. Lost a couple of jobs, about six, both parents died, my friends rarely call me(they answer the phone when I call), sold the house I grew up in and started living with purpose.
I remain resolute. I WILL fulfill my purpose - no matter what. I will not yield. My very reason for existing is fulfillment of my purpose. Besides, I am well aware of what exists for me when I live without purpose - a non-fulfilling, meaningless life wrought with depression, anxiety. Smiles and laughter hiding tremendous amounts of sadness. Brilliance unobtained and adrift on the vast ocean of humanity, simply existing and “going through the motions.”
Today, Wednesday, May 29, 2019, I am grateful that:
I have a purpose. Had I not determined my purpose I would not have been able to survive the last couple of years.
I am committed to fulfilling my purpose. For the same reason as number one, sometimes it’s challenging beyond measure.
I remain resolute. I am committed to fulfilling my purpose. I will not yield. I will accomplish my task before the deadline. The universe and all within will bend to my will and make offer assistance in whatever means is needed to accomplish my purpose.
Define Your Purpose. Remain Resolute(accomplishing you purpose). Be Impactful.
