Nothing is ever finished. Really. You can pretend, “oh, phew… I got that done!” but come on! The world revolves around change. Everything is changing and will continue to do so – that’s how it works. You don’t so much finish as get it close enough – for now. Then, maybe you get back to it and maybe you don’t.
I know what you’re going to say:
“What about {insert something that gets completed – like making dinner}?”
And I have to respond:
You’re right. I’ve exaggerated the effects of everything changes. Sorry. Let me re-define.
All meaningful pursuits are ever-changing. Like this business plan I’m working on for my nonprofit – it won’t ever really be done! I will always learn more and the environment that I’m working in will change, and the expectations of the people I’m providing a solution for, etc…
How about relationships or creating a better life for yourself? What was it John Lennon said?
“Life is what happens when you’re making other plans.”
Yeah. It all keeps changing, so I’m giving up on the completion and going to move it into a format that is ever-evolving and easy to change. You know, a wiki or Google Doc or something – then the whole history is captured so that I can go back and retrieve what I thought I wouldn’t need but now realize that I do.
Anyway, ’nuff babbling – ciao.
