Finish what you start!

The following quote was sent to me by my husband and I think it is great. It is so true to life. I don't know if some people are just naturally more disciplined but I do know that I know more people who are not disciplined than who are. I am a person who has had to learn to be disciplined and so have my children. One of the scriptures that hung in our school room was "The precious possession of a man is diligence." When you have the problem of being disciplined you can really see how precious diligence is.

One of my dear friends from junior high was always a very disciplined person. After we were married, I would go to visit her, I was amazed at what all she accomplished. She was always finishing projects, her home was so organized, she looked great, her children looked great and she was how I wanted to be. I was running around like a chicken with it's head cut off. But a lot of it was because I was lazy and a procrastinator. I wanted things the way she had them but at the time I wasn't willing to do what it took to get there.

MUCH OF THE STRESS THAT PEOPLE FEEL DOESN'T COME FROM HAVING TOO MUCH TO DO, IT COMES FROM NOT FINISHING WHAT THEY STARTED.
"You are your work. And every project that's put on hold, every deadline that
comes and goes, and every problem that goes unsolved....they are all a part
of you. The to-do list may be erased, but the stress it leaves behind is in
permanent ink. Finish what you start. It's about the best advice that carries
through to your work, your marriage, and every angle of your life!"
David Allen

I always told my children that your work is a portrait of who you are. Pay attention to detail and always do your best! And the other part of that is finish what you start. To finish what you start brings satisfaction, accomplishment and you become a producer!!!!
