I am going to print this and let it lay around the house somewhere. So DH will read it and think about the joy for getting something done.
When you have to choose between getting it perfect and getting it finished, get it finished. Even when it’s inconvenient and uncomfortable, get it finished.Are there other things you’d rather be doing? Go ahead, finish what you’ve started, and then you can more fully enjoy moving on to those other things.Don’t waste your time wishing for it to be easier, or resenting that you must get it done. Stop fighting against your own effort, and put all your energy into getting the job finished.Give your perspective a positive boost with some effective, productive effort. Follow through on your intentions and commitments, and get it done.It was important enough for you to start, so go ahead and get it finished. Get it finished, and bring new value to your world.Accomplishment feels so much better than idleness, wishful thinking or resentment. Make the effort, tackle the challenges, get it finished, and enjoy some good, solid, fulfilling accomplishment along the way.
