HOW TO BECOME SOMEONE WHO FINISHES WHAT THEY START

* Decide that you value the character trait of follow-through as a key part of your personal integrity.

* Create accountability systems for yourself and plan out action steps.

* Give yourself deadlines and timelines – and then just do it.

* Remember that once you are in motion, you will stay in motion – finishing what you start will get easier and easier as you go and get used to committing to doing what you say you are going to do.

3 WAYS FINISHING WHAT YOU START WILL TRANSFORM YOUR HAPPINESS

* You will be more successful.

* You will have more confidence and self-trust.

* You will heighten your personal integrity, which will lead to deeper contribution.

It’s time to start seeing yourself differently – to see yourself as God sees you and as others see you.

>Ask close friends and family to tell you three descriptions of who you are

>Ground yourself in the belief that you are a new person daily – and growing constantly
