What is the meaning of the word 'Finish?'

Starting with the letter F, the word 'Finish.'

The word 'Finish' is explained as follows in The Positive Dictionary:

Finish: Finish what you have started.

* Three things finished are better than thirty left unfinished.

We all carry a load of unfinished tasks in our lives. There are always more things to do than what we have time for. Before a task can be completed something else comes up which may be more urgent, more important or just more interesting. Some days we are plagued by interruptions, the telephone, a visitor, coffee time. At the end of the day we are tired and stressed and more unfinished tasks have been added to the trail of unfinished tasks.

Some days are different. We have a lot to do but we focus on something, think it through, do what has to be done and finish it. Then we tackle the next task and finish it. Even interruptions are handled effectively. At the end of the day we have enough energy to keep on until midnight.

What is the fundamental difference between these two types of days? The essential difference is that on our effective days we have an inner calmness. Nothing can rush us. The only important thing is the task that we are busy with.

Calmness focuses the mind on this moment. We think clearer and time seems to pass slower. Calmness does not mean relaxing. On the contrary it helps us to finish our tasks more effectively.

With calmness our trails of unfinished tasks are transformed into finished accomplishments.
