Finishing

Are you a starter or a finisher? For most of my life I’ve been a great starter, and not so much of a finisher! I love to start new projects. It’s so exhilarating to start something new, something exciting. But then it starts to become a chore, or I get stuck on one aspect, and little by little I lose interest. Or get frustrated and give up altogether. Then along comes another idea, and I’m off again! ;-)

Well, finally, I’m beginning to love the feeling of FINISHING. Seeing a project all the way through to completion. This is a new feeling for me, because I never used to allow myself to get there! There is such value in that feeling. Such a sense of satisfaction and pride. I can look at these accomplishments and say, “Wow, I did that.” Which then fuels me into finishing more and more projects.

Of course, with some projects, I’ll never really be “finished.” They are entities in and of themselves. They take on life from the energy and effort I breathe into them, and they keep growing and evolving. This is a good thing!

There is a difference between deeming something “finished enough” — or giving up because we get frustrated about slow progress.

If you struggle with the same issues, my advice would be this: Be tough with yourself, but also be gentle with yourself. Be tough about forcing yourself to do the work you know must be done, but at the same time, be realistic about what you’re expecting of yourself. Too often, we expect nothing less than perfection from ourselves, and it’s just not going to happen. Do what you can in every moment. If you start something, finish it! At least finish it as much as it CAN be finished at this present time. And then release the thought that you didn’t do “enough.”

Let your projects and goals take on a life of their own. Keep pouring love, attention and effort into them, and they WILL grow. And one day not too far into the future, they will stand up, smile and say, “I’m finished!” — and how wonderful you will feel! :-)
