Completion Is Better

Finish Line

“What is not started today is never finished tomorrow.”— Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Now is the most important time to start. Thinking about it is very different from starting it. When starting something, it is our goal to finish it sometime in the future. Some of us have many  start-up projects to only become unfinished projects. Although it takes courage to start something new, it also takes determination to finish it. If we only break big projects into smaller ones, then we don’t have to feel overwhelmed or burdened by the vast size of the project. It is possible to finish a project as long as we start with small pieces.  Finishing a piece at a time reinforces our confidence in completing all the pieces.

“Don’t watch the clock; do what it does. Keep going.”—Sam Levenson

This quote is a good analogy of how we get ourselves so easily distracted, instead of doing the work we set out to do. When we look at the clock, we’re looking to see how much time we have left to start doing something. Sam is encouraging us to keep going until it is completed. Milton Erickson says completing things are important. We feel good when we finally complete something. Completing things can boost our confidence. Before we start something we need to consider the possibility that some parts of the process will be difficult. Difficulties are just learning how to widen our minds to find another way to get through things.

When we complete things we feel a sense of relief and satisfaction. When things are incomplete we may experience guilt and are unsatisfied and disappointed with ourselves. Just as gravity pulls us toward the ground, we will always have some sort of resistance in everything we do. This is the nature of the beast. As we walk up a hill, we will feel pressure, and the weight of our body as we take each step. Sometimes, this is a hard thing to accept that things we do will feel uncomfortable.  But things do get easier and our mind has a way to find a better way to complete things.
