Times Aren’t So Different

Earlier I wrote about a different time and how after spending some time with newly acquired friends from the U.K. I realized I wasn’t able to keep pace. Boy was I wrong. I’ve been doing just that for the last couple of days and it’s been incredible!

There’s a great freedom in solitary travel. No other opinions to observe. No one else’s input. The ability to move and act on your own with regard to nothing other than acting in good faith and conscience. On the other hand, there are some explicit benefits to being in a group. Safety, camaraderie, and more importantly here in Cebu, barkada engagement.

A barkada is a group of friends. A local term used to describe the group most locals can be seen travelling in. When solo, a group of three to seven women, normally friends, is challenging to engage but with newly met friends from the U.K. the barrier to entry is lowered. I’ll need to transfer and apply the same principle to build a prosperous business endeavor.

Today, Tuesday, November 26, 2019, I am grateful that:

Concepts and ideas are beginning to manifest. Thoughts from more than a year ago are beginning to manifest. The germination period was longer than I imagined but I’m beginning to see fledging sprouts.

Social engagements offer lessons for business life. My personality is such that I typically obsess on thoughts yet time away from business and engaging others in a social setting has led to lessons and opportunities for my business prominence and prosperity.

A new sense of purpose has emerged. Not a new purpose but rather a new desire for its fulfillment. A surge of power, like during an electrical storm, I’ve got a newfound source of energy. Not frightening but most welcome this newly channelled vigor lends aid with focus, discernment, and outlook.

Be Impactful!
