FINISH WHAT YOU START
How many
times have we stopped just short? We are working on a project, we are doing a
workout program, we are reading a book and we just don't quite finish what we
started. Kind of like not sticking to our “New Year’s resolutions”. Then there
is the David Goggins approach of one more rep, mother&^%$#&. Goggins
does finish what he starts, even if it takes driving back to the gym to do the
10th pull up because he stopped at nine, that’s great and has its place, but
may be a little extreme for some of us in our day to day lives. We have heard,
the phrase going the extra mile, it's lonely on the extra mile, as is usually
the case though, there is a middle ground between these two poles, one
“quitting ” or stopping short of what we started, and on the other end kind of
extreme, put in more, put in more until we burn out, and that is just do the
task at hand, finish what we start, do our job, do our best Just finish. Nothing less. Finish the project
one step at a time. Finish our workout program one rep at a time. Finish the book. (unless it’s a real stinker
then move on to the next one, life is short). It's about finishing what you started
and doing your best. That is, it. Do what you say, say what you mean. Never
give in. Never come up short. Just do it. Get the job done. Then move on to the
next job and get it done. One step, one rep, one thought, one task at a time. Don't
sell yourself short. Finish what you started.
