More than once, and even more than 3 times have I bailed in the middle of a season. Another words, I didn’t have the patience or stamina to ride out the time it takes to see a project through to harvest time. Why? I’m sure there are many; Lack of focus. Distractions. Lack of a deep-seeded ‘why.’ And many many more.
This is why I want to work on my staying-power. Lasting the test of time to reap the benefits of my work. No doubt this takes a great effort in many ways as it’s always easier to flee.
Everyone has grand expectations at the beginning of the race when we’re all pumped up with endorphins and the crowd is cheering us on. The real test is on the back forty where there are no fans and we’re alone with our thoughts. This is where the true test begins. This is where I have to focus and remain steadfast with my intentions.
No more partial commitments. If we’re in, we’re in. Consider wisely. Decide and then commit to the end.
Easier said than done.
