Wasting Good by Chasing The Bad

By Abe Newmeyer, March 11, 2022

Work & BusinessGratitude & Perspective

For the first time, I’ve got a client that’s chosen to not pay for services rendered. Partially pays, slow pays, and now, not even answering calls. The sad part is I’ve wasted so much time and energy attempting to collect. My other clients have suffered as a result.

I’ve got too much work, as it stands today. I’m working to clear my to-do list. I’m finishing off the items and should have every item completed in the next couple of days.

The lesson: Invest my time where I can get the best possible return. The same holds true in each and every situation. Training, relationships, practicing, and any other situation, I’ve got to invest my time with respect to getting the highest and best returns possible.

Today, Friday, March 11, 2022, I am grateful that:

I’m feeling more like my old self. I’m remembering what it’s like to be me. I have to recall that I’m His favorite, as we all are.

Others are offering clarity. I’m happy my circle is full of champions. Those advocate for me and my success.

The garden is growing. Seedlings are being transplanted into their permanent containers and leaves are getting bigger. Nothing is close to harvest, but progress is being made.

Are you investing your time and energy for the best possible return?

How do you know?

Be Great. Be Grateful!!!
