Unencumbered Enthusiasm

Twice today I’ve been frustrated with unencumbered enthusiasm. I’ve had a couple of conversations with D.C. and I’m feeling as if my time has been high-jacked. It’s an interesting thing because I’m aware of the situation and also, in need of the enthusiasm.

D.C. possesses an unbridled enthusiasm. He also has extensive contacts and has been leveraging his network to expand my writing. I’ve completed one writing project and today he’s acquired two more projects. Tempering his excitement; however detrimental it may become to business, may be a necessary.

Today, Monday, April 6, 2020, I am grateful that:

I’ve got champions on my team. It’s one thing to have enthusiasts and quite another to have champions. Those individuals willing to put their reputations and influence behind me and my efforts. It’s refreshing.

I’m aware of my need to handle situations. I’m imperfect, as is everyone, I’m happy for the wisdom to see some areas of shortcomings.

I was able to ask for assistance from a buddy with more experience in the area I’ve been facing. He provided some insights and suggestions and moving forward, I’ll work to implement them accordingly.

A.E. and I had a chance to speak. We’ve known each other for over thirty years and I’m happy to have friends like her. The older I get, the more important it is to have those that have known me for decades.

I was able to chat with Roni today. She’s been frustrated, as have I, about the quarantine. We’ve been unable to see each other in about a month and we, as everyone else, are longing for normalcy. I’ve done my best to assure her normalcy will return and to have faith, yet, truth be told, it’s getting a bit monotonous and tiring.

Who are your champions?

When did you speak with them last?

Who’s known you the longest?

When did you speak with them last?

How will you invest in those relationships today?

Be Great. Be Grateful!!!
