Quotes about
finishing.
Seven lines about finishing what you start from You Are Capable of More by Chris Sund. Put one on a wall, open a meeting with one, or keep one somewhere you will see it on the days you need it.
From Chris
Starting is exciting. There is energy in a new goal, a new plan, a new version of yourself you can picture clearly. Almost nobody needs help with that part. Making a commitment is easy when you are motivated. Following through is harder, because motivation eventually gives way to reality.
Most people do not fail. They leave too early.
Starting is common. Finishing is rare.
At some point the question stops being whether it will be difficult and becomes whether you have decided to do it anyway.
You stop when the results are invisible, and invisible is exactly what real progress looks like in the middle.
There was not a good answer. There was just a decision.
Clarity without action changes nothing.
Most people don’t fall short because they don’t know what to do. They fall short because they keep choosing what’s easier in the moment.
