Starting to Finish
Today is a significant day for someone somewhere. For some, it may be a day to start something new, and for others it may be the time to finish something that may have come to an end on its own, or something that must be ended because it is going nowhere on the road to purpose street.
On this first day of the last month of the year (December 01, 2021) whether you are starting or finishing, you are in the driver’s seat to making a decision. It is never too late to start, or never too late to end. Some of us get crippled with the fear of not knowing when to start, while some fear ending too soon or too late.
At the end of the day, this immobility can become permanent. But the physical body was designed to be in movement (motion) – whether standing, walking, jogging or running. In business, oftentimes we have to move from our seated positions of indecisiveness to stand and look around – weigh an option, observe the terrain, reconsider a plan and make a decision to move. Having made the decision, we either walk slowly towards our goal or we get the urge to move swiftly with a sense of urgency.
Someone may argue that at times we have to take a few steps back – this is true! But taking a few steps in either direction is still creating movement. With eyes in the front of our heads, the intent is never to remain in the past, but to use it as a monitoring and evaluation tool for the next forward steps.
Whether it’s the first day of the last month, or the last day of the first month, it is as good a time as any to keep journeying. You are still alive. An unsuccessful project does not make you unsuccessful. The Project has ended, but you are the winner, because it is you who gets the opportunity to move forward. Let us look at success and failure in life and in business as how we look at a “Survivor” or “Knock-out” competition. The one who survives or who wins always gets the opportunity to move forward in the competition. The winner keeps elevating and defeating each opponent on the trajectory to ultimate success.
Keep moving forward! Never stay down – remain undefeated! Nothing in business or achievement is hard. Everything for your success is in motion.
