“Much of the stress that people feel doesn’t come from having too much to do. It comes from not finishing what they’ve started.” –David Allen

Perhaps nothing more keeps our potential intact, as opposed to expressed, than all the projects started but never completed.

It’s way safe (and even admirable) to start. It’s way harder to finish.

Finishing means people will evaluate how it came out.

Finishing means we could now actually do something with what we created.

Finishing means we have an opportunity to improve upon it, or take the initiative into an even next-level project, above and beyond it.

Finishing is in no way safe or easy. Yet, the question is whether we want our Self expressed or simply full of potential.

Someone whose end-of-life headstone says “Died With Potential Intact” didn’t make much difference for the poor souls around them.

What can you finish (vs take to your grave) this week?

I’m making The Back Forty Re-NEW-ALL Program below FREE for those who have been affected by any recent storm, firestorm or personal tragedy. It’s all about taking a pro-active stance, in the face of devastation, to point ourselves toward our next and best life to come. Please forward this to those it can support, and have them simply reply email me with their situation.

Got finish?

“Stopping at third adds no more to the score than striking out. It doesn’t matter how well you start if you fail to finish.” –Billy Sunday
