There’s Greatness In You

Shaun Bradford

What a day this has already been!

Woke up to my first scheduled posts on Shaun’s Daily Inspiration displaying incorrectly on the reader’s feed. After Googling how to remove the statement that was attached to the post (was supposed to be the post’s text) and going through the process of removing it, this was what I ended up with…

It took me over an hour to get everything straight (ran into another issue while using the code editor). Very long sigh…

This is a screenshot of the feed after the post was republished…

Now, here’s what’s currently displayed…

Whew!!! Smiling as I write, y’all, THIS is my life. Gotta love it!

Here’s today’s post.

Greatness

There’s greatness inside of you. You may not see it yet, but so many others do. In the right light, you’ll see it too. Signed and sealed with love,…

Greatness

I added a reflection section, “Let’s Pause & Reflect,” at the end of the post. After the morning I’ve had, I guess I’ll be the first to finish the following statement:

“I didn’t always see it, but one great thing about me is …”

Y’all, one great thing about me is that my level of patience is extremely high.

I have been told many times that I have a lot of patience, especially by my older people, but I see it as me providing them with assistance or doing my job.

Today I saw that patience… or maybe it’s persistence. Having an “Aha” moment.

Thinking about several matters I worked on over the past few weeks, even yesterday—my birthday, and even moments ago (just got off a call)—I refuse to stop until an issue is resolved. So maybe it’s a little bit of both, patience and persistence.

Anyhoo… This problem is somewhat resolved. I still need to play around with a few more things to make sure this doesn’t happen again.

By the way, today’s Quote of the Day has posted, so I guess I’ll include it too. Honestly, it’s very fitting for this moment—

“This is your moment. Seize the opportunity to be great.” –Eric Thomas

And I did!😊

Sooo… how’s your day going so far?😅

I hope it’s going great and has been less eventful. Talk to you later!♥️

I love you,

Shaun

Be Persistent: Keep Going

Shaun Bradford

After dealing with death, I often wonder if my dreams and goals are worth pursuing. Like, am I wasting too much time focusing on the unknown when I should be spending more time on what I already have. Then I am reminded that I could actually live to be 100 years old. My dreams and goals are so worth pursuing.

No matter how much I would like to give up at times, or settle where I am, for some reason God will not allow me to. He constantly shows me that there is so much more worth living for, worth pursuing. I have to keep going, even when those I thought would go with me are no longer here or decide to choose a different path. I cannot give up.

Here is a Facebook memory from September 13, 2018:

Good Morning! Here’s today’s social media find. Y’all, persistence is everything. Even when your deadline has come and gone, keep going. The thing you’re working towards will eventually happen. There are moments that I really want to give up (like last night- lol), but God steps in and pushes me forward. He’s persistent!☺️ If it’s meant to be, it will be.

There is no timeline, only God’s timing. Keeping going!
