Vigilance

During this “enhanced community quarantine” here in Cebu City, I’ve learned to exercise vigilance. Staying aware of possible danger, vigilance is what every citizen needs to display during these times. Not simply for their safety but for the safety of others. There’s another perspective one can’t view this word from:

What would happen if you didn’t do what you were put on the planet to get done? How could you face your Creator? What would you say? How would you explain your inaction?

Circumstances are ever present, it’s the nature of the word. Remain vigilant. There’s enormous peril in not fulfilling your purpose. You are unique, unlike any. None will exist, throughout history, like yourself. Should you become complacent and not remain vigilant, mankind will not benefit for gifts bestowed to you and you alone.

Today, Thursday, April 9, 2020, I am grateful:

Clarity has returned. I’m waking early. I’m writing more than before. I’m doing what’s needed to fulfill my purpose.

I’m aware of limitations within myself. “Better to do one thing well, than many poorly.” An old adage I’ve not heeded in my past. Polymathic by nature, or perhaps unfocused, I was presented with an opportunity yesterday. An outstanding opportunity but not aligned with my purpose; therefore, I passed on the opportunity.

Vigilance is my word for today. I must be wary of possible dangers, external and internal. Whether negative thoughts or spreading CoVid 19. I must protect myself. When I’m safe, I’m able to stand as a sentinel for others, until they’re able to protect themselves.

Be Great. Be Grateful!!!
