Endings are among the sweetest of sorrows. It feels good to see a work to completion. Though you will miss the effort, you can enjoy the achievement.
That which does not end cannot fulfill. We are denied the satisfaction of finishing what was started. There is no climactic thrill, merely an endless drone.
Conclusions often lead to new beginnings. One thing inspires another, which benefits us all. Those who hold on too tight, end up squeezing out the life.
Journeying only has significance if you reach a destination. Wandering has no meaning until you find something. Roam too far and you will wind up lost.
The last few steps can be the hardest ones. Without reaching the goal, nothing is accomplished. Refuse to stop until the finish line has been crossed.
There is a purpose for everything in our lives. Do not miss what is waiting here for you. We can either let the years bury us, or rise to the occasion.
Our efforts should bear fruit and we should enjoy the moment they come to fruition. If we get stuck in a rut and leave a project to wither on the vine it is to our shame. The ending may seem daunting at first but will be satisfying when reached.
ReplyDeleteIf the ending is bad, it affects all that came before. To get it right, you must pour all that you have into it. No matter what happens after, nothing was held back.
DeleteThere is a last time for everything. We will see what will be. It is not how we feel but what we do that is important.
ReplyDeleteOh wait, I get it.
ReplyDeleteTrue on all counts... but missing one fine point: How to stay busy in retirement. ON THE NEXT THING! You may find even a taller mountain from the vantage point of the one you conquered.
ReplyDeleteIt is important to finish what you start. Then, you can focus on what is next. You end one thing and begin another.
