There’s a certain tragedy
in starting a race
and not finishing it
In making a promise
and not delivering it
Beware the danger of ‘the incomplete’
-detest delicious distraction
-abhor the mediocrity of simply existing
-avoid the graveyard of
coulda-shoulda-woulda
Gird your loins
Keep the faith
Finish the course
Change’s a-waitin’……..
Tick-tock Tick tock Tick tock

Change waits for no one. It just rushes in and we either do or die (in some way or another). Tick tock, indeed.

Aha! Interesting to think o change as something we need to work towards instead of passively submitting to.

The graveyard of half-done projects is a sad place indeed. We have to keep the goal in mind to take power away from the distractions.
