Self-AssessmentWriting & Creation

Most of the day yesterday I struggled writing the video script for my newest trilogy. I’ll more than likely get the script done today but, for some reason, the words just wouldn’t come through clearly. I rarely get “writer’s block.” Most times the only thing I have a challenge doing is creating a title for my gratitude lists. I’m not sure if it’s challenging because it’s a title or if it’s one of the first things I do in the mornings and I struggle putting thoughts together first thing in the morning.

Anyway, I’ll get the video script completed today. I’ll reach out to a couple of programmers about modifications to the API doc and I’ll research travel to Bacolod for later in the week.

Today, Sunday, January 5, 2020, I am grateful that:

I put forth the effort to script my second video. Part of the package for my website development was two five minute videos. One script is completed and I’ve gotta get the second one finished before we shoot on Tuesday.

Even though we didn’t speak, I got a message from Danny. He was at the airport and heading to Rio. Part of his routine, he travels there several times per year and it was good to hear from him. It’s great how my circle has begun to expand and shrink, exclusion of some and inclusion of others.

My attitude has remained relatively positive. For years I imprisoned myself with thoughts of what I wasn’t able to accomplish, only to finish those tasks after making a decision, usually as a result of someone saying it wasn’t possible. I’ve wasted an enormous amount of effort proving myself to others instead of doing what He wanted. Today I move with the certainty I’m doing EXACTLY what He has placed me on this planet to accomplish. So even when things seems nearly impossible and not moving as quickly as I’d like, I remind myself, thereby lifting my spirits, that I’m moving towards the ideal version of myself.

How do you remain positive?

Are you doing what your Creator placed you, and you alone, on the planet to accomplish?

How do you show Him your appreciation for your gifts?

Be Great. Be Grateful!
