Slow Down And Count The Results
We all know what happens when you try to call the result too soon. A reminder to slow down and take a good, honest look at all that you’ve lost and won this year.
Welp. We’ve got fewer than 60 days ‘til the end of the year. What are your goals?
Look. I’m not gonna hassle you about year-end goals right now. Now is not the time for goals. It’s the time for a slow count.
(You see what I did there?)
I'll be honest. I had absolutely no faith in you people when it came to this year’s election.
Take a good look around at the things you have now that you didn't have before. Pay special attention to the things that aren't there any longer - because it was time for them to go.
I didn’t think we’d pull it off. I thought the bad outnumbered the good, and I was resigned to what that meant for me. For the country.
It’s kind of the same way I’ve been thinking about this year. I.e.,
‘Oh, 2020 has been terrible! 2020 has brought so much drama and suffering.’
Which is true. But it isn’t THE truth.
It is true that there are way too many people in this country who continue to represent the worst in us. This year’s nail-biting election made that fact very clear. But THE truth is:
Georgia is a blue state.
A ‘Blasian’ female HBCU graduate is the next VP of the United States.
And the biggest narcissist I’ve ever seen has been dethroned from his seat of power.
Go slow Now, so you can go fast Later.
So… yeah. No goals right now. We’ve done enough. You’ve done enough.
Let’s pull out those receipts instead.
Now is the time to take a look at what you've actually accomplished. What you made it through. What you triumphed over. What you transformed. What transformed you.
Take a good look around at the things you have now that you didn't have before. Pay special attention to the things that aren't there any longer - because it was time for them to go.
And if there are any unnecessary things that are still hanging around… well, just be sure to get rid of any and every thing you don't want to carry into your future by the end of this year.
Because the future is just around the corner. And it doesn’t have time to wait.
