? hmmmmmmm?!?!?!
+ the dogged perseverance to keep going
+ laser-like focus and undivided attention
+ the resolute tenacity to overcome
+ the sticktoitiveness to Finish
= Glory!

Now that’s the correct equation – Thumbs up! It’s not just about the beginning, not giving up needs as much importance and consideration as daring to begin.
🙂 yes…I’m with you Sonia.
And I could add to that list too, but you’d just shake your head and think it’s ‘typical Mimi’ – but there’s all kinds of glory – and some of it (glory that is) – is just in the knowing (like the glory of being in love). Ok, I’ll stop.
Smiling.
Yeah, this is a weird one. Daring to begin speaks more of courage than glory.
Yes…exactly.
That sounds right to me.
Simpatico friend.
ready or not, here i come!
Headlong!
I think I will settle for a little middle of the roadness today–glory for another day
That works!
And having the strength to finish what you start.
yep. easy to start. tough to finish.
Was a big struggles for me early on in life – when stuff is easy it gets boring – it gets boring I want to do something else.
Lucky I had parents who made me finish a set time on something I started when I was young so even though it’s not natural to me I’ve learnt to stick and rein in my restlessness and next thing you know I’m interested in what I’m doing again.
That’s wonderful. I am wired to get from A to B. Problem is that sometimes that journey isn’t worth the trip and you need to pull up, stop and re-direct. Therein is my learning…and growth opportunity.
