An Unfulfilled Life is an Unfinished One...

in mindset •  6 years ago 

Hello again, dear Steemians!

I have seen people from time to time with a right mindset and outlook towards life; people who apparently had it all figured out. They knew what they wanted to do with their life and they actually took steps to achieve their goals.

But some of these people did not have happiness or contentment. It was as if all the purpose and meaning in the world could not give them tranquility and peace of mind.

What do this kind of people do wrong?

Let me tell you a story about someone who knew everything and wanted to do everything. Little did he know that our time in life is limited and we cannot blithely plan our moves and execute them perfectly.

An unfulfilled life is usually an unfinished one. Some people are in the habit of starting something with energy and enthusiasm, but they can never bring themselves to finish it.

After years go by and we grow old and pale, there will only be one regret with us, the feeling that we haven’t been able to finish anything we have started and see the effects of it on the world or the people around us.

The person I told you about earlier decided to write a book. He went on to write 100 pages of that book, and he was nearly finished with it. But then he found another branch of the big tree of life that he was already sitting on.

So, naturally, he left the process of writing that book and it never saw the light of day. His closest friends and relatives actually read chunks of the book, but they never knew how it ended.

He had decided to go to the music industry and learn how to play a guitar. He actually spent several years learning the instrument, but he did not really flesh out his skills. Eventually, he left it altogether.

Not that he wasn’t good enough, it was just that he was again starting to lose his focus. Several local bands invited him to play for them, but he refused them all, because he once again came to believe that his ‘purpose’ lied somewhere else.

A lot of us make the same mistake in life. We are ambitious and want to achieve everything, but end up gaining nothing, because we do not have the courage to finish what we have set out to do.

The next time you start doing something, make sure that you finish it. Keep telling yourself this: an unfulfilled life is an unfinished life. A life where the value of every task is undermined because of your unwillingness to finish it.

If you make a habit of leaving things before you have properly finished them, then you can be sure that you will never achieve anything of worth in this life, because you can never give yourself the chance to properly bring them to a result.

A BIG HUG!

In order not to stop and not to be discouraged, a person deceives himself - without completing one, he starts to do something else, which also leaves unfinished, and in new undertakings and new efforts he tries to draw fresh impulses and courage. So a person steals from himself and gradually becomes a larger and more indebted debtor of himself and everything around him.

interesting how you expressed that thought; and quite a good perception of that. Deceiving oneself must be one of the most difficult things to realize for oneself. It takes quite a bit of attention to see that. Although the phrase "so a person steals from himself" is a bit confusing. Can you clear that up? What is it that is being stolen? And how can I steal from myself? Am I not the one who is doing the stealing?

I want to say that this person does not receive enough of what a person experiences in the completed work, he steals these feelings from himself

Oh yes @chbartist, I totally agree with you that there is nothing worse than unfinished business. We may wish to do a lot, but if we finish at least one thing in our life, then life will always seem to us to be incomplete!

An excellent review and a very good motivation @chbartist, we all want new achievements and victories in our life, but it will only depend on us how our life path will be formed and if we leave our business unfinished, then our life path will not end either!

The positive person does not escape the problem, but rather it focuses on solving the problem, not the causes of the problem. He tries to find the appropriate solutions to it and learns from his mistakes. He sees any failure as an acquired experience in life. Failure is the beginning of the path to success.

sometimes fate smiles to many people, this is Tawfiq from God or for reasons we do not know and sometimes people go not to reconcile in many things either be their share or luck or so do not reconcile from God regardless of the reasons, here are here in this article expressions of misfortune

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I love your post.
"Keep telling yourself this: an unfulfilled life is an unfinished life."
I will try this one to myself. It'll help me to get more motivation and willingness.

Belief in God and what he put in the human capacities and potentials and talents, and this faith is the first step in the path of success where the human being given value for everything he does in life.

Always look for successful people who think positively and avoid losers who focus only on failed experiences in life. Successful people always nourish your mind with positive thoughts and provide you with success experiences.

Thanks @chbartist for this lovely post about life my opinion about life is this life is a preparation for exam which will be held after death so we should live life properly we should help others and always attitude should be positive but you are doing great things on steemit.

Really nice, i agree @chbartist! this is very motivational.

Your title says everything " Unfulfilled Life is an Unfinished One " No need to go through everything, Everything comes under this title.

The human mind is similar to the garden and thoughts resemble flowers in that garden planted good ideas have yielded good results and planted negative ideas have resulted in failure in this life, as said Dr. Wayne Dyer famous American writer .... Change your thoughts change your life

In life happiness should be first, no Matter how much you can earn but your life is unfulfilled untill you don't have happiness . In story that person was happy with writing a book , doesn't matter how book was , he tried to play guitar because he seems happy in that and he do that. You will do that work after get failure also in which you find your happiness . And last you achieve that .@chbartist THANKS !

@chbartist finsihing is much more important than begining
Every one begins with enthusiasm but as they move ahead they just give up.

People will always be married forever, as long as men fancy that their luck will be better than others' luck

Hmm. This is great. You are right that some people in the pursuing of everything, they later end up with nothing. The man who wrote the 100 pages and left it was because he wanted to achieve everything not even finishing one down already and also lack of

Frankly, you are a teacher we must learn from you

It's great if you're ready to miss the lifestyle you should have, but if you want to get out of this session, let me tell you: you should not allow yourself to engage in this kind of "self-sabotage" at all.

If your thoughts are positive, your life will be positive and you will enjoy success and happiness in life.

Go back to reality and remember everything you imagined, what did you see? For example: a perfect day for me, consisting of roaming every street around the world, spending my time with my loved ones, playing for millions of people

Sir nice thought you are sharing here.
I think my happiness is in my head three things is most for everyone patience + passion + strength = change life and world.
you get to make your own life and luck.

Frankly, you are a very well educated man

A very important subject in our lives all of us went through such conditions thank you for great post

To finish the objectives that we propose we must always maintain the enthusiasm until the end. The key to maintaining the constancy is enthusiasm, you should never lose the joy of achieving your goal.

Beautiful thought here.
Following them self you find sour ideas you can do.
not stop until your work if you seven times fall but you have successfully stand time of eight never give up.
Willing + will power + plan + goal + time period = successful done

The grace of reason and thinking which God has distinguished from other human beings. God has created man in this world unique and unique and blessed by the grace of reason, and according to the laws of planting and harvesting, what man sows and reaps. Therefore, man must observe his thoughts because he makes his life

Negative thinking does not make a person see the bright ways in his life, but makes man to see only the dark ways and this type of thinking does not lead to success in life, but leads to failure

It can be said that the default in our expectations is one of the worst parts of our being human, we tell ourselves, for example, that we will earn the financial income we deserve, but we end up in a job we do not like

A goal without a plan is just a desire, all you have to do to start moving towards your ideal life is to find out what you want, do you get a lower salary in your business? Do you speak less with your friends? Is there anything you want to do in this world?

Take a paper and pencil and record at the top of the page "Achieve my dreams." Now imagine that one day you wake up without any specific timing or restrictions, distances or directions, where would you go in your mind? Who do you see and what do you do? More importantly, does every movement you make in your mind lead you to happiness?

"Some people are in the habit of starting something with energy and enthusiasm, but they can never bring themselves to finish it." I totally agree that happens too often!

It is great to dream of raising your annual salary, but there is a big difference between dreaming and working on the ground. Motivation is the first thing you need to define in your goals. If you know you will give up your goals in the next few months, It's a waste of time to work on something you will not end

Have you heard about smart targets? They are those specific, measurable, realistic and achievable goals

Evaluate each step you take, find out what is at your disposal and what you need; to succeed, when you succeed by using that method, you will never return to your old habits,

Smile to be the most beautiful
In the sense .. hope to find good
And work to think in a positive way to get positive results
Your happiness is made by your hand and you are the product of your thoughts

People are mostly receptive to the ideas and beliefs that arise from them, without knowing why they came in this way or that; whether they are true or false and trying to change them if they are wrong; and also tend to believe what you hear and consider it a fact that does not accept the mere thought of its validity

Good post. The goal is very important but you need to focus in your motivation.
If you're focused in what you can do, what you have or what the others think about you, maybe you aren't on the road of happiness. If you are focused on what you are, my friend, the happiness will be on your destiny.

People have told me that I'm a good writer. They read my work and they go "hey, your work is great, you should write a book or start a blog". I started writing when I was in secondary school (high school) for fun. My friends admired my work. Somehow I got tired. When I got into college, I decided to start my own blog. I did, then I gave up because I couldn't get people to read my work. People have told me that my problem is my impatient. I heard about steemit, I joined. I thought, "It would be fun...getting paid to do what you love". I haven't got many followers to read my work, it weakened me. I felt that maybe I shouldn't be doing this. I came online tonight, I saw your blog. Normally I would skip long stories like this, but it kept reappearing on my feed. So I read it, all of it. Thank you, I needed this. I'm not giving up again ❤❤❤.

Nice one.

Great analogy to demonstrate the possibilities when finishing what you start as the ending is never known until executed, good or bad! The worst that can happen is that you learn ways to improve!

Brilliant article sir!

Well said dear @chbartist
Completely agree with your thought on this-

if you make a habit of leaving things before you have properly finished them, then you can be sure that you will never achieve anything of worth in this life, because you can never give yourself the chance to properly bring them to a result.

I agree with your realization that it is important to have determination in doing things. It seems to me, however, that many people do not quite set out in the right direction in the first place.

In my old dojo there was a saying for kids that went something like this: "It doesn't matter where you go as long as the direction is right".

In this context I would say that, yes it is important and quite difficult to finish things, but before that one should think about if the thing being done is logical/right at all. Such an action requires wisdom and courage.

keep it up 😊👏

😉 @chbartist excelente todo lo que escribes, te leemos y nos hace pensar y evaluarnos. No somos perfectos, pero siempre debemos ver el lado positivo de todas las cosas que nos suceden. Debemos ser sensibles y, cortes ... porque siempre cosechamos lo que sembramos. Luchemos por nuestros sueños. Bendiciones

This is why i upvote my own comments :) haha.

@chbartist do you write your posts on your own or you tell, others write?
I ask this question because, your posts have so much knowledge of life in it.

Thank you @chbartist for this article.
In the end during our dismal days, we only regret the chances we didn't take. What usually gets me going on when i am close to the brink of losing focus on a goal is nike's signature slogan: JUST DO IT. Just finish what you started! Just persevere! That is what completes our somebodiness and true worth.

Sometimes you start a project with a lot of enthusiasm but at the beginning of the adversities and difficulties are so many that you feel that you get over it and that is where the discouragement begins, what to do in those cases?

Life is like a race, and if there's anything I've learnt from my short life on this earth is that neither the strong nor the swift wins nor does the fittest survive. In order to finish what we start we must always be persistent and endure because life isn't just a bed of rose it has its thorns that can choke out your enthusiasm, but persistence and endurance will help you through

A Ted Talk is finished in just a few short minutes, it is built and practised in over 250 hours, a speaker must be open to learning as they offer this piece of themselves to not just the audience, judges, coaches, themselves, but to a recorded world that will endure, endlessly. It takes a life time of experiences before some of these talks can be built and delivered, some are built on just one. In watching Bosco for years, as well as many other in my inner circle, I love watching each one of them share how they have achieved success, discover purpose and keep cheering on, with solid tools and experience their peers. Becoming mentors themselves. The examples in his talk let us also see how much he values, hope, confidence and how applying things we learn as we go.. reflecting and redirecting, along the way.

A purpose in your life may fulfill.

In other words - jack off all trades, but master of none will probobly not lead to a fulfilled life.

Life is limited here on earth. It will continue on the other side of life, the life after death, if you believe it.
Some people are making this earth heaven, which is absurd based on my faith, knowledge and experience.

For me life on earth is a battleground. The victory is eternity.
We are at war the moment we were born.

Thanks for great post.

I have a family member who is like that, he never ends what he starts, the most contradictory thing is that he is a person with many skills, but he is very inconstant .. he starts doing things and then he gets bored or annoyed and leaves him half or almost to finish, I think that this reflects instability in people .. leaving things unfinished.

If you want to change your life for the better, first start by changing your way of thinking and looking at people and things.

@chbartist, the richest place on earth is often referred to as cemetery. This is because there lies people of great wisdom and knowledge and most of them did not finish their course in life. There are a lot of people around the world these days that are exhibiting this habit and most of them are possessed and of course some are cursed and then normal ones also. This is a message to us all in this community and to endeavour to finish a course and be happy. There is happiness in a finished course in life. Starting a race course may be simple but toward the tail end which some referred to as the 11th hour, this period is for men of valour. Thank you very much @chbartist. Do include me @bernard4ve in this contributing list of this community. Cheers!!

Congratulations @chbartist!

Why is it a mistake to live and do as much as possible?
You already grew old and pale you know what people regret most?
I think if you are at that point you only are aware of the fact that all the studying, all that working, making career was wasted time.. as soon as you get ill or old you are kicked out and replaced and you are a big nobody.. so the only question that remains is: what did I really do for me!

Living a happy life to me is much more important than living a fulfilled life. And the key to living a happy life is, and this is VERY complicated, (drum roll) Find something you love to do and do it.

Dear @chbartist sir
It is true that we get full enthusiasm for achieving any purpose, but we do not have the courage to fulfill them when we reach the conclusion that we reach the goal. Our ambitions force us to hit our hands in every field. And in the end, we get disappointment from all sides. With the change in the means of production, there is a change in the nature of the human. Whenever there is a change of time, there is a change in the structure of the society, due to which our brain is not fixed on any one purpose. We are moving towards a decent primitive society but regret is not complete, incomplete is finding out.
Thank you for making strong community
