The simple intention to complete something is very powerful. Complete what is incomplete. When was the last time you declared that you were complete or finished with something? Have you ever asked yourself, ”What do I need to do to get complete with this?”
My friend Patty decided earlier this year to move to Florida. This transition is happening easily for her because she is simply complete with living in Pennsylvania. As I passed by her house, I saw her snow shovels. Patty must be finished with snow shoveling too because she was selling them in a yard sale! There are a lot of people that would have taken those shovels to Florida – are you one of them?
There is an amazing feeling that comes from completing something. It’s the “tadaaa - I did it! I crossed the finish line” kind of feeling and a generous space opens up where you once carried that incompletion. If you tell yourself a story that to complete something will take a lot of time or effort, or that you have to do it perfectly, chances are it will remain incomplete. In fact, if it has to be done perfectly, you will never complete it. The things you believe you didn’t complete today will be loaded onto your wagon of incompletions for tomorrow.
What can you complete today in the simplest way? Some things are just waiting for you to simply declare that you are complete with them! The intention to complete something before you even begin something new sets you up for completion. Maybe, you will use your creativity to complete things and then celebrate the creative way you chose to complete them.
The perception that you have completed something is a choice and the acknowledgement that you have completed something is also a choice. You will begin to view yourself as a person who has the power to complete things. Maybe you will decide that before you agree to anything new that will take your time or your talent you will check in with yourself and ask – “Do I really want to carry this as a new incompletion?”
The possibility exists that at the end of each day you can decide that in your perception you completed everything you intended to do just for that day. Have fun with your empty wagon of incompletions!
