A FINISHER Matters More Than A STARTER

YES, it's confession time.  In the past, I used to have a 'STARTING PROBLEM'.  During those times, I was tempted to start things sometimes off the cuff.  At times, all I needed was a catalyst that will trigger me to initiate something [regardless if that initiative will take a few minutes OR even donkey years to accomplish].  I have to admit that WHEN something excites me, it's like nothing can stop me from starting off something new.  And during those years, I thought I was good at it.  BUT A FINISHER Matters More Than A STARTER📗📙📘

Oh Oh, I DON'T want to go back to those years WHEN I was 'trigger happy' to start off practically anything OR everything that seems to excite me.  Those years, I can start so many things that in the end I'll even loose track of them.  I can get so excited about the ideas behind things that I want to just jump in and start.  And I did!!!

I can think of a handful of small projects that I've decided to start, often they are things that I'm making OR building.  I would go to the store and get supplies.  It's all so much fun UNTIL I get back and then realize HOW much work is ahead and HOW it may be really really hard work.  And if I was NOT careful then, I can end up doing so many things and NOT finishing them.  Now WHO says that STARTING things is unlimited?  NO sirrrrrrs.  STARTING has its LIMITS.  We can only have so many balls in the air at one time❎❎❎

And the downside of being good at taking initiatives is that you will [LIKELY] end up find yourself spread thinly across.  The thing is, the more you have going on, the less effective and invested you can be in any of those forays you get involved with.  SO HOW?  First off, we got to learn how to SAY NO [even to our own self].  And that is the hardest one for many of us.  That thril of starting can be fueled by endless possibilities that could come about💥💥💥

Our takeaway:  Let's go back to our drawing board and revisit how many ongoing initiatives you have at hand [as we speak now].  NEXT STEP?  Let those projects end.  And that is hard because surely you'd love that idea enough to start it.  And it's hard to see something that we care about [and die OR fail].  And it's equally hard because it forces us to confront our own LIMITS and instead admit that we are unable to do it all at once.  Instead, it forces us to see that starting things all the time is NOT sustainable OR effective.  YES dude, A FINISHER MATTERS MORE THAN A STARTER😃😃😃
