The Finish Line

"People of mediocre ability sometimes achieve outstanding success because they don't know when to quit. Most people succeed because they are determined to." George E. Allen

Life is usually interwoven with starting and finishing. Sometimes, as in a small household or workplace task, we start and finish quickly. Sometimes, as in building a business or changing a lifelong habit, it takes months or years. Sometimes we start something with good intentions and either lose interest, get sidetracked or give up. Whatever the case may be, there are often things in our lives that remain unfinished.

What I know about me is that some unfinished things weigh heavier than others. The fact that I didn't finish reading a book I didn't really enjoy doesn't bother me. And, not finishing the afghan I started crocheting a year ago is only a bit discouraging.

The fact that I have not finished writing the books that are idling in my manuscript file causes me much disappointment. Then there the physical changes I keep saying I'll make, the people and places I want to visit, the other creative notions waiting behind cupboard doors and filling the pages of my Ideas Book. These are the things that reflect what I am passionate about and longings that are born in my soul. Each time I think of them I feel a tug at my heart ... and my gut! These are the things I don't want to leave unfinished.

As a coach, I have witnessed many clients move to the finish line and bring closure to projects, dreams and goals. Napoleon Hill said "A dream is a goal with a deadline." Imagine setting a finish line for something you have been holding onto and then making it happen. Coaching is a powerful tool to help you finish unfinished business. You have someone to keep you accountable, motivate you, point out progress, question obstacles, remind you of your values and always keep your eye on the finish line.

Whether the unfinished business is a wounded relationship aching to be healed, an artistic desire calling to be expressed, a major career change that keeps asking to be followed or a self-sabotaging behaviour that you would love to release - you just need to decide where to place your finish line and then get coached to success.

Question of the month: “What are you ... today, committed and determined to finish?"

ARE YOU ADDICTED TO MOURNING? A note and request from my colleague, Life Coach, Sharmayne Jenkins.

"I am looking for people willing to share their story of addiction. Many of us have a person, a situation, an era, and/or a relationship that is dead (literally or figuratively) but we still seem to give the memory a prominent place in our lives.

Were you the captain of the cheerleaders, and still hold on to those ‘good ole days’?  Or maybe you were excluded from the ‘ in crowd’ and you still harbor resentment. Has your spouse, pet, best friend, died and you can’t seem to open up to new relationships or stop mourning their passing? Do you find yourself always talking about how thin you were, how thick your hair was or how much energy you used to have? Or do you lament the job you missed out on, the fabulous mate you let get away, the opportunities that passed you by, the trip you didn’t take, the words you didn’t get to say?

These issues and many others will be explored in my book project “Addicted to Mourning”. I’d love to hear your story whether you are still stuck or how you were able to move on.

Please write directly to Sharmayne at manifestcoach@aol.com and help me to help you and others to live a beautiful, boundary -free life. All correspondence and conversations will be kept strictly confidential."
