While we’re on the subject of completion this week, what do we say and how do we behave to that voice that has told us in the past that we can’t complete a project?
Is that voice correct? Should we not pursue and complete a dream? What if it fails? Have we feared completion before – or, more accurately, the lack of completion? What role does solid belief play in completing something large?
Particularly in the area of our life’s goals and dreams, it’s critical to have trusted friends and family who can “reality check” our big dreams. Much more to be written on this later – for this morning, suffice it to say that those big dreams can be wisely pursued while someone with credibility believes in you – sometimes more than you do yourself – AND assuming that you’ve talked it through with them and they have helped you understand the risks and rewards. And the key point: that they see a favorable risk-reward analysis for that big dream- and they keep monitoring the situation with you as you proceed.
How are you doing today relative to the short-term completion goal that everyone has established for this Friday? What kind of support, imagination, brainstorming and “just-do-it-ness” is required?
