Remembering Why

To have a purpose, to have a plan for its fulfillment, and a deep desire to get it done, taking massive action towards its accomplishment daily is only part of the process. If you haven’t done all those things listed above, you might wanna stop and do that first as the rest of this will probably not be relatable.

For about six years or so I’ve been walking along this path. Awakening daily, stating my purpose, and doing at least one thing towards its completion. Yet, the rewards are few. The benefits are often delayed. The road is arduous. What’s occurred during my journey I’ve chosen to share and document. In part for authenticity and the other reason is a bit more selfish. At some point, when I’m older and resting having completed my assignment, I’d like to have the ability to read about my younger self and how the journey changed me.

There will be times when I’ve wanted to yield. To surrender to a more comfortable life and take the road traveled by most. The benefits of age are experience, if wise enough to discern from previous mistakes. Applying lessons from my past, I’m able to recall how depressed, unsatisfied, and unfulfilled my previous existence had been. I’m able to know with certainty what’s in store should I quit. More depression, more dissatisfaction, more mediocrity wait patiently.

But I will not yield. This journey isn’t for the faint of heart. Yet, my previous chapters have proven to me that this is far better than those things in my past. So I’ll keep going, knowing this is the easier, softer way.

Today, Tuesday, August 16, 2022, I am grateful that:

I was able to get Herb’s voice training completed. It’ll be great to have another voice on the platform.

People will always tell you who they are. I told a buddy the other day, “I give people enough rope to let ‘em hang themselves.” I try not to bring preconceived notions and negative past experiences into present and future relationships.

I’ve begun speaking to others with more influence about forming strategic partnerships. I’m proud of my offering and willing to share about the benefits it will offer.

Will you stop?

Are you comfortable being uncomfortable?

Will you stay on task no matter what?

Be Great. Be Grateful!!!
