It's never how you start. It's how you finish.
ADVENTURE WITH ME
Appoche production.
Ay Jean glad As are here walking back to the Building Better Humans Project podcast. I want to kick off today and it's the start of a week and talking about there's this old quote that says it's the start that stops most people. So most people have a good idea or a great concept, but then they never started. They're always thinking about the lays planning. They'll hide behind things like I'm doing due diligence, and meanwhile they just continue on and not fulfilling that goal or that dream. And then one day someone else does it, which is the ultimate kick in the pant, someone that was willing to do the work that you weren't willing to do. I've experienced this myself on a personal level. I'm sure we all have. So it's the start that stops most people. But then there's another saying that says, it's never how you start, it's how you finish. And this was in a PEP talk that I was listening to this morning, And what that means is that when we do start, we start with this immense amount of energy because we're motivated, we're inspired, like this is the thing. And I think of myself and the team that I'm working with that are building our youth development, our youth reform that we're going to release into Queensland very very soon. Oh man, we're pretty inspired and we're going pretty hard. But what are we going to be like at the back end in a year, two years, five years, when you're running to challenges, when you're running to brick walls, and there are people that are trying to stop you achieving the goal or the dream that you're trying to achieve. So it's not how we start, it's how we finish. What do we do at the back end? And a part of that, well for me, as a former soldier and at my age, is I'm thinking about the fact that there are a lot of people in my world that I've served in the military with or that I've just lived with, who aren't around anymore. So we don't know how long we've got left, and a lot of us live life as if I'll get to it later on, but we don't know if later on exists. That's the fact. We just do not know if later on exists. So I want to share this PEP talk with you, and I hope, beyond hope that it just gives you this little bit of inspiration to do something with those stop points, with those finished points, and with this idea that you've got for river to do something because you know full will that you don't and I'm hoping that it gives you just that little little tawny bit of inspiration around that.
You don't have forever, you don't. You gotta go for it. You've got to get what you got, what you are come to get now. And you can't waste time. You can't treat it like well, I'll whatever tomorrow. It's never how you start, that's how you finish that you know. For me, it's real easy because I know that a lot of a lot of my friends that are not here, and.
That's all I need to that's all I need to know.
And there's no there's no lack of urgency when I wake up in the morning to think, Oh, don't worry, I got all the time in the world, because I know I don't.
