Returning to the Basics

Returning to Basics

Good evening friends.

Day 430 here in Puerto Rico.  We hope everyone had a very nice St. Patrick’s Day. Today was a really good day. My family and I have a lot of ELS and personal projects going on right now.

It was one of those mornings were I woke up and said to myself, “How am I going to get all this done?” — That is when I hit the reset button and returned to basics. If I don’t do that, I bite off more than I can chew and usually fumble everything. Took me 30 years to learn that lesson too.

Now because I reset my self right from the jump today, I had a productive day.  If you’re wondering how to reset to basics, it goes something like this; First we take deep breaths. We prioritize the most important things we need to get done versus the things that are less imminent. Then we focus on getting that first thing done until we march onto the second task at hand. We will all be surprised at how much can be accomplished in one month when we return to the basics. One foot in front of the other.

I’m not interested in the race in my head. I’m interested in the results of my footsteps, one step at a time. When we hear the word “basic,” we kind of think of it like the word; “beginner” or something. On the contrary, the basics is where it always begins from. Without that, we can’t lay the foundation for the more complex circumstances that life throws at us.

Take Sylvester Stallone for example. About a year ago he turned is life over to Jesus Christ. When asked what his reason and timing of his announcement.  He said; “I have to return to the basics. Anytime I lose sight of the basics, It becomes easy to lose sight of what’s important.

Food for thought.  Sincerely, Dr. Harp Seal for Sammy & Family.
