Consistently Determined Effort Pays Off

I have consistently been at this newsletter/blog for over two years now. Each week I provide insights I have gained through being aware of what is happening in my life and how I learn similar lessons from my ancestors.

By the end of the year I will have surpassed 100 posts on a weekly basis. As I started this endeavor, I had little idea as to the impact it would have on my life. I have learned so much as I have shared with you my triumphs and failures. It is interesting how attempting to express an idea you have can really bring clarity to that idea, or completely debunk it.

Priorities and Determination

I have made this a priority as I promised many of you that I would do it weekly. How many of you thought I would continue with it this long?

Share your thoughts on this by following the link to this post on Living Tree Connections and leave your feedback. I’d like you to express what you have learned, and how you have applied it.

Determination is something that is learned. Some people develop that gift sooner than others, and where that gift is applied determines how you reap results in life.

What priorities are you determined to meet? I have seen people focus solely on work. They have great careers. I fear that for many, that is all they have. Others focus solely on family. They are tightly knit together, but perhaps a bit unable to understand other people they meet.

Choosing to set service as a priority is great. I have friends who serve endlessly, yet they feel burnt out, never taking time for themselves.

Others focus on their own wants. It can be rewarding to have a lot of success in what you want, but are there others who feel pushed aside by your drive that excludes them?

What are you consistent at?

Find Your Priority Mix

I am reminded of my grandfather who was a very good electrician. He did his job very well, but he had other interests that he put much of his energy into. He created a lot with wood. I learned to love the feel of wood as a child watching him work in his shop. Though he could be quite gruff, I also remember him taking time for family. He wasn’t perfect in his interactions with us, but I know for a fact that he loved us.

My dad bought a store in the country to get his family out of the grind of the big cities of southern California. He made mistakes along the way, but the consistent choices he made continue to have a positive lasting effect on my life.

I chose to quit a job to pursue my dream of entrepreneurship. It has not been easy, but it is worth the lessons I am learning. I am better because I took a chance.

Recognize what you have been consistently working for in your life. Celebrate the good you have done. If you feel you have a misguided focus, come up with a plan to change it.

I Choose A Healthy Life

I have a lot going on of late. In this life, I love working with my family on goals that move us forward. It is not always an easy process, but the end results bring more joy and peace. I will sign off now to pursue some of those choices.

I have one favor to ask of you today as I recharge with my family. Please share this post or one that you found helpful. Encourage your friend or family member to sign up to consistently receive my weekly posts. I would love to help more people to be free from a mindset that holds them back in life. They also will get a free audio training when they do.
