Success Thought of the Day – 5/20/21

You can’t finish what you don’t start, and you should never start what you’re not committed to finish. — Gary Ryan Blair

In a world where the images flashed before us are typically those of the glorious outcomes and not the “work in progress,” nor the failures along the way, “finish” can have a lot of pressure associated with it.

Give yourself room to start by reframing from the beginning. You get to choose the definition of “finish.” You can call a new effort a trial or an experiment as an example. In those cases, finishing is completing a learning cycle and growing from there.

Get started; the road to the best you possible is waiting for you.
