What exactly is finishing what you start and following through? You may have heard these phrases before, but what do they mean? To me, they mean making your intentions a reality. Too often, we’ll say we’ll do something, and we might even start it on a lucky weekend.
But at the first sign of hardship, fatigue, boredom, or busyness, we abandon it all too easily, and it sits in our garage (mental, figurative, or literal) for the rest of eternity. Finishing what you start and following through is breaking through that common loop and taking hold of your life. My personal experience with finishing what I start has been checkered.
One summer, I promised myself that I would carve a wooden canoe, about 12 inches long and 3 inches wide. Not too big, but a sufficient challenge for someone with no woodworking experience. The first week, I made a considerable dent in my wooden block. The second week, my hands were sore, and the new Star Wars movie was out. The third week, I was too busy seeing Star Wars again and procrastinating.
My wooden canoe wasn’t meant to be. But every time I walked through my garage to my car, the canoe was a damning reminder of my laziness and inability to follow through. It wore on me until I committed myself to finishing it a couple of summers later. You can probably guess what happened.
