“I finished something I started, even when I wanted to quit.”

When you started, you made a commitment — maybe just to yourself, maybe to others. Finishing when you wanted to quit means you honored that commitment over your momentary preference. That's the definition of keeping your word. The wanting to quit was real. You kept going anyway.

Your Practice

Write down what you finished and what it cost. Write down the exact moment you wanted to quit — and what you told yourself to keep going. That's your material. Now identify one other thing you've started and haven't finished. Schedule the time to complete it this week.
