Something From Nothing

For years I’ve been about certain individuals who came meager means financially into enormous wealth and success. These people seem to possess something unfamiliar to the common man or woman and make something from nothing. Those few appear to have been chosen for greatness.

As I think about them this morning I’m reminded that WE are all chosen for greatness. We are all His favorite children. He has GREAT things in store for us all. I have been struggling with my purpose and a plan to fulfill said plan for about two weeks now. It’s as if what I’m doing and what I’ve done doesn’t matter. I by no stretch of the imagination feel as if I am resting on my laurels. In my opinion, my accomplishments are small and inconsequential relative to my capabilities.

Blessed with exceptional gifts, in a variety of manners, I’ve been unable, as of yet, to focus my talents for an extended period of time sufficient enough to reap the financial rewards received by those with continued and consistent progression in their chosen profession. At 45 I chose to pen my first novel. At 47, I publish that novel and decided to write a couple more books. I’m still writing. I’ve taken several breaks to work and generate an income to sustain myself as I write but I’m wanting/desiring to stick with my craft. I’m gifting with the ability to envelop readers within my words and transport them to where I desire.

Today, Friday, April 12, 2019, I am grateful that:

I have found and began to develop one of my gifts. I enjoy writing and even editing and that’s something I can not say about many of my professions. Prior professions have merely been a situational convenience not a selection of purpose.

Hope has returned. Earlier this week, I was really struggling with hope. I felt more despair than I’d felt in a long while. Reemergence of hope is a great thing.

I’ve begun to tell and show others what I’m about as a person and an author. I haven’t made significant progress with book sales, mostly as a result of lack luster marketing efforts. I’m virtually nonexistent on social media, my website is abysmal in my opinion, and I’ve yet to advertise to any E-book marketing lists.

Move with Purpose. Be Impactful.
