I'm right with you about the kids seeing me complete or not complete things and want to make sure I start them off on the right path by being a good example to them. I appreciate you stopping by.

The word UNTIL is very powerful. Jim Rohn, who has taught me a great deal was the one who brought it to my attention. It's an eye opener for me and is helping me orient myself properly. I envy your getting up early skills, however, that's a daily discipline I am working on now to improve. Here are some statements of my own using UNTIL. I will work on getting up early until I achieve it regularly. I will work on reading the books to increase my skills until I get the skills. I will work harder on myself than my job until I see the financial rewards for doing so. I will keep submitting my book to agents and publisher's until one accepts it. You are an inspiration to me Sam. If you ever have hard days, remember there are those who look up to you. Hey Sam. The word UNTIL is very powerful.

There are most certainly damaging things that if continued will create an unfortunate result. I appreciate you bringing that point more to light. I also have a fear of being a quitter and that has led me to keep doing some things I should not. I admire your resolve though for pushing through difficult things and at the same time being in tune enough to know when to quit.

The simple act of finishing is indeed very therapeutic and the repeating of it I am finding is one of the best ways to become more than I cam right now. Hello Evita, it’s good to hear from you.

I'm actually a person who often drives herself to 'stick with' something long after it continues to serve me. I think it's important to be able to make a distinction between not following through with a project or plan because you simply don't resonate with it anymore and not following through due to reasons of self-sabotage or other self defeating behavior. The means I use to distinguish between the two is to become clear on the underlying intention of anything I embark upon. If the accomplishment of that goal or task greatly contributes to the underlying intention, then I usually will push through regardless of how difficult it may be to do so. However, If I've simply embarked upon a goal is in and of itself to 'have fun' and it does not contribute to my greater life intentions, I'm trying to allow myself to quit and move on to something else. For me the fear of 'being a quitter' seems to be so strong that I sometimes negate the inner voice that is telling me to abandon the goal or pursuit in favor of something that I will enjoy more and that will serve me better.

I love that idea of underlying UNTIL! That is very powerful.. write it down and underline that word before doing anything else. I'm not going to party it up in Amsterdam until I get down to fighting weight. I'm not going to buy a new Apple Macbook Pro until I get my Alexa ranking to below 200,000. I'm not going to launch Yakezie.com until I'm satisfied in getting to know everybody. And when I do, I WILL happily move forward. MAssive focus, like aiming a bazooka at one thing is so incredibly powerful! I do this in morning chunks at a time i.e. 5:30am-7am. Then I get carried away and do a lot of random things. Thnx for the article. Best, Sam Nice Jeremy… I love that idea of underlying UNTIL! That is very powerful.. write it down and underline that word before doing anything else.

I'm improving though, because I now realize that I'm an example for my son and daughter. They make me a better person... I've learned so much about myself from watching them. When I don't complete something through to completion, my son see that example and doesn't think he needs to either. I struggle with this too…

Staying with something from start to finish can be therapeutic for many reasons. While I agree that sometimes, our likes, wants and needs may change and thus it is good to walk away, for the most part I know there are a lot of people who do make starting something and never finishing a lifestyle. And that is also important advice, focus on one thing at a time, multi-tasking can actually do more harm then good. Thanks for sharing this! Great stuff Jeremy!
