The ABCs of Life
This morning the thought occurred to me that I need to get back to basics. A friend of a friend once said, “If you stick with the basics, you don’t have to get back to the basics.” I agree with his sentiment wholeheartedly. In that vein, I’m going back to what’s worked repeatedly. I’m doing what I know to be true and proven. It’s embarrassing to have forgotten so elementary.
At some point in the future I may expand on these points more, but for now add “Be” in front of Active, Bold, and Consistent. With sales and business development, it’s about your activity level. “It’s a numbers game” as any Sales Manager will likely say. The more opportunities you have, the better your odds of success.
Next, is Be Bold. Defined as confident and courageous or showing an ability to take risks, I’m needing more boldness. Doing something that hasn’t been done requires courage, confidence, and massive activity. The last item was covered before so it’s about courage(moving ahead in spite of my fear) and confidence which I possess in abundance.
Lastly, Be Consistent. Doing the basics repeatedly, not deviating, mastering your craft, and staying focused. I’ve strayed away from my original plan more than once. Mostly knowing the plan was needed but not cemented. Meaning, I couldn’t depart for my destination without a plan, but knowing I’d also have to make corrections
Be active, be bold, be consistent and what you desire will manifest.
Today, Monday, June 20, 2022, I am grateful that:
I serve the greatest puzzle maker ever. My Creator puts together pieces in ways no other can phantom. In fact, most can only see the puzzle once it’s completed and years after the pieces have fallen in place.
He works to better me and my fulfillment of His purpose. He has placed me in a situation more than 8,000 miles away from where I was born. He has put two others in my circle and facilitated my ability to find a dwelling within my means and convenience.
It’s occurred that every skill needed for growth, I possess. After being dormant for years, I must awaken the lion. This hunt will be epic, possibly legendary.
Have you mastered the basics?
Do the ABCs reflect your perspective?
What would you improve?
Do that now!
Be Great. Be Grateful!!!
