What To Write

Some days are easier than others. Some days putting my thoughts of gratitude flow without much effort. I’m able to write this list and move on with the remainder of my day in a matter of moments. Other days, like today, are more challenging and the list takes an extra amount of time(nearly an hour and counting).

The thing I have to remember is the list is like other things in my life, it’s an act of self discipline. I’m not able to continue with the rest of my day until this is completed. It’s a promise I’ve made to myself and more importantly, it’s something that helps my attitude. It allows me to be a better person and work towards His will versus running around with all effort focused on my desires and my will.

Today, Tuesday, March 10, 2020, I am grateful that:

I’m still here. It’s been a challenging couple of weeks, hell really a challenging life but I’m still here. As long as I’m breathing, upright, and in possession of my mental faculties I’ve got a shot. So many yield. So many see no hope. So many lack faith in Him and His plan. Happy I’m not one of them, at the moment.

I’ve built a relatively strong support system here in Cebu. Not as strong as my hometown, but suitable for my needs here. I’m happy I’ve been able to get here and settle into some sort of rhythm.

I’ve been able to keep my streak alive. “Write something everyday” words of my mentor spoken years ago and it’s, at times, a Herculean task. Unconscious competence, the final stage of learning, is where I’d like to exist with regards to writing but alas, it appears as if I’m dwelling in the conscious competence stage of development.

Are you happy with your professional development?

How do you improve professionally?

How’s your faith in His plan?

Will you continue when it’s most challenging?

Be Great. Be Grateful!!!
