DEADLINES

For the past few weeks, I've been working non-stop on a few different projects. It's been rather hectic but what has kept me going is the "bigger" picture that I see. Down the road, because I've maintained my focus, even though it's been tough on some days, it's going to all work out for my good! That's how I see it and that's important because many nights I end up going to bed in tears because sometimes I feel as if my labor is in vain. Oftentimes, it's lonely doing what I do but I'm encouraged to NOT GIVE UP!

Yes, there are deadlines that I'm working against that I must keep, I can't push them back because every delay costs me dollars and cents, if you feel me. Every time I push a deadline back I'm holding up destiny and, DESTINY, can wait no longer! Many of you are already aware that I'm working on publishing my first novel. It's been a long time coming and YES, I'm constantly beating myself up about not being prepared or some other lame excuse, so I'm writing to myself today more than anyone else.

Deadlines are important and if we are attentive, faithful, and consistent, the big PAYOFF is down the road. Deadlines come and deadlines go, however, after it's all said and done, what will be the pay-out or pay-off for holding fast to your deadline? If you don't follow through, you may never ever walk in your divine destiny, right? Who knows? Work your project and get it done in a timely fashion so that the deadline isn't your breaking point but serves as a catalyst for your MAKING!

Now that's real talk!
