Things Change

About two months ago, one of my connections offered me a great deal. He’d sell my writing services through his firm and I’d get paid. I had no income source at the time and considered it a great deal and was very happy for the chance. That; however, was two months ago and things change.

Since our agreement, I’ve found three additional income sources, each paying more than three times my previous agreed upon rate. I’ve generated a bit of momentum and with the changing means of compensation, an hourly rate for an hour of my time, I can not afford to work for my previous rate.

I’ll wrap up my current project and only take on additional projects until the end of the month, at which point, I’ll put the agreement on hold. I’m willing to honor my agreement, but I don’t have to stick with the agreement as if it is a blessed union or holy covenant. We make the best possible deals in our current circumstances. We honor those deals and only change them when we have something more beneficial.

Today, Wednesday, December 14, 2022, I am grateful that:

My favorite coffee is being delivered. It’s the second best coffee I’ve had since living here and I’ve got some on the way. I am beginning to realize how much of a creature of habit I truly am.

I get to order small things I value. Living on a small budget for the last few months, I haven’t been able to indulge. I’m not saying the things I purchase are pricey. I’ve simply learned how to live very cheap.

I’m proactive with my health. I’ve felt a bit under the weather and today I went to find some medication. My history includes waiting until the situation is emergent or ignoring the situation entirely. I’m happy I don’t have to repeat those lessons of my past.

How quickly do you accept changes?

Do you honor your commitments even when your situation has improved?

Are you willing to ask for or negotiate better agreements?

Be Great. Be Grateful!!!
