Complete the Transaction
Our focus this week — Nov 19-Nov 25: “Commitment”
Today’s MotD: Complete the Transaction. We’re encouraged to “complete the transaction” when it comes to our commitments…to do what we say we’re going to do. If we struggle with the big commitments, maybe start with some smaller ones first and build up to the bigger ones.
It’s not just commitments we make to others, it’s also about the commitments we make to ourselves. Where I struggle with this is bigger projects and ideas I want to create for myself as well as for my business. In other words: anything that pushes me beyond my comfort zone. For some reason that seemed easier when I was younger. Although when I was younger, what I wanted to do was more mainstream and more commonly accepted. What I’m wanting to create these days goes outside of the mainstream realm and into the “beyond”. So bigger risks with potential for bigger fails.
So I’m going the “smaller steps” route towards “completing the transaction”. As Melody Beattie states “When we’re able to follow through on our commitments, other people value our word and we have more esteem.” This goes just as much (if not more) for the commitments we make to ourselves.
How about you ? How are you at “completing the transaction” when it comes to your commitments ? What about the commitments you make to yourself ? Is remembering how great it feels when you do fulfill a commitment a motivator towards following through on other commitments ?
BTW…Here’s the before…the front and back view of today’s puzzle piece and the pretty ceramic box that holds all my numbers from which I randomly choose each day’s puzzle piece number:

ABOUT THE 2025 Mandalas of the Day
Throughout the year, I’ll be building one large (48”x48”) Tibetan-styled Mandala one piece at a time…one puzzle piece at a time, that is. The mandala design and the reversed puzzle side were printed on artist-quality watercolor paper. The forward facing puzzle side was printed on a 48”x48” wood panel.
Each day, at random, I’ll be painting in watercolors one of the 365 watercolor puzzle pieces, that by the end of the year will become Archangel Mandala #4. Read more about the Archangel Series. The word/message for each piece will be inspired by Melody Beattie’s book “52 Weeks of Conscious Contact”.
Ultimately, the message of this mandala is about how we are all uniquely part of the one.
