Message of the Day - Distracted off course

Good Morning,

 

This past weekend, I had the pleasure of meeting up with a friend of mine who was visiting town for a local Horror Convention. He is an actor, producer and full of stories of many sorts. Most of all, he is a good man. In spending time with him at the convention and then at dinner at my house with my family, I had many of my writing ideas from the past come back up.

 

Ideas that had been simmering for as long as a decade or more. These projects would take months if I were to pursue them, and while I would enjoy doing them, they would take me away from the writing that I am currently doing. And as of late, I am not doing as much writing as I would like. I have about nine more weeks of college and then my time will open up a bit. A bit, but not enough for these projects.

 

As I shared them with my friend, I realized how silly and poorly thought out my ideas sounded. I felt like a real wanna-be for sci-fi writing.

 

I then remembered my strength is sharing what I observed in life around me, and from the books that I read.

 

The next day as I was walking Bo and praying, I realized that these projects, as enticing as they sound are really just a distraction for what I truly love to do, which is help others.

 

Maybe someday when I retire,  I can work on a novel or screenplay, but until that time I need to remain focused on my mission.

 

When we get distracted off the paths we are heading, we need to remind ourselves of what our mission is. And while our mission can change through our lives, it should not be at the drop of a hat.

 

 

My Mission Statement:

 

Use my knowledge, experience and available resources to help others overcome challenges, navigate difficult times, achieve new heights or otherwise improve their lives.

 

This is where I am going to keep my focus.

 

To help others, and invest into myself to help others better.

 

Enjoy!
