Finishing

Some of us don’t need to train our starting muscle. We like to begin new things. To jump into projects. To plan new adventures. To get screwdrivers and wrenches and to just start turning.

The problem is in finishing.

So a skill worth developing is the skill of completing. Of buttoning up, bringing things across the finish line, finalizing.

When we get good at finishing things, we give ourselves the gift of completion … and the thrill of starting the next thing, fresh, sans the baggage of things left undone.

But for many, finishing isn’t an inherent skill; it’s a muscle that needs training.
