ONE MAN'S JUNK - CONVERSATIONS OVER COFFEE W/SUSAN

SATURDAY MORNING, 8AM EST. JOIN THE CONVERSATION (319) 527-6754. Here's the thing, God is constantly speaking. The question is, how will you respond. Despise not the days of new beginnings. When asked about his idea of success, a famous actor replied, finishing what I started. He said that others' opinions of my work do not matter to me. I ignore what is being said in the media." I loved this, and it's how I try to live my life. If you're not careful, you will put down your gift because of someone's opinion on how it should work, when it should be released, or even its worth. Treasuring your gift dictates that you will finish what you start—see it to an end. We know this is God's intent, as each day has a beginning and a dawning. Cultivate the Ernest gift. Could cultivating be the act of finishing what you started? If a gift has been cultivated, is it not thriving. At the most basic level, it calls for thinking about what thriving would look like in your context and then working to cultivate that. It's that straightforward. As orchestra conductor Benjamin Zander says, "there is no such thing as failure, only feedback. And the only appropriate response to any outcome is: "How fascinating!" Life's journey is a search for ways to make your gift an ever more authentic expression of who you are."  Finish what you started is more than just a motivational quote. It's a life lesson that I wish I had learned earlier. Peter Hollins, the Author of Finish What you Start: The Art of Folloiwng Through, Taking Action, Executing & Self-Discipline writes, “Persistence is firmly sticking to something for a prolonged period of time, even as you encounter things that try to unstick you.” LET'S TALK ABOUT IT. COME! Have a cup of coffee with me. Tell a friend. Push 1 to share your thoughts on the subject.
