      The Art of Finishing - Var Kelly

      me.

      Introduction

      On Sunday, November 1, 2015, I crossed the finish line at the TCS New York City Marathon. Upon completion, I had a new found love and appreciation for people who finished marathons. This one race caused me to realize that it takes a series of activities to be able to complete marathons or anything for that matter.

      While reflecting on the training process of a marathon, I was able to glean several critical elements related to The Art of Finishing. Many of these features have been elements I’ve learned over the years in many situations and circumstances. From marathon training to studying for tests to working multiple projects at work, the elements presented in this book are applicable in so many areas of anyone’s life.

      In this book, Taylor is a fictional character I created to help explain The Art of Finishing. Through her life and those in her life, you will learn the process of The Art of Finishing. Likewise, you will understand how to apply The Art of Finishing to your goals.

      You’ve struggled long enough with your goals. It’s time to finish them.

      My prayer is that by the end of this book, you will feel empowered to begin to and perfect The Art of Finishing in your life.

      Chapter 1: Starting is Easy

      Each of us innately knows how to start. It’s a matter of cause and effect.

      When Taylor was born, she came out of the birth canal crying and screaming. She did the only thing she knew to do from the very beginning of life – cry. When she was hungry, she cried. When her diaper needed changing, she cried. Baby Taylor used her only means of expression to get what she needed or rather reach her goal - food, diaper change, etc.

      It’s often sad to see adults who continue this cycle. They grow up into adults, but continue to cry – whine, complain and sometimes fall into deep depression or become suicidal. Why do some people do this? It’s because they know how to start. Crying is the most basic form of starting a goal and many people get stuck there.

      During Taylor’s adolescent and teenage years into adulthood, like many people – she started many things. There were many first days of school; first dates; starting school projects; reading of new books, starting household chores, starting new jobs, and countless other things. Hence, she understood the principle of starting.

      If we consider Taylor’s life presented thus far in this book - and our own lives for that matter - we probably all can agree that to some extent we all innately understand how to start a vision or goal. So, I must present this question. Is the problem finishing?

      Why is Finishing an Art?

      Before answering the question, Is the problem finishing? I must answer the question of, Why is Finishing an Art?

      I use the word art to describe finishing because it is an art. It is something learned, and practiced. It’s something that has levels of intellect and perception. There is depth, skill, and a level of brilliance associated with the ability to finish. Let me give you an example. Baby Taylor just took her first baby steps. She will never experience her first steps again. Soon, she progressed from baby steps to full on walking to then running. Later on in life, while in high school, Taylor joined the track & field team. It was during this time the dream of being an Olympic athlete was born. Her performance in high school was so outstanding that she received a full scholarship to college. While in college, she was able to participate in national and international races. During her senior year of college, she qualified for a spot on the track & field team of the Olympics where she won her Olympic medal in the 100-meter dash.

      During Taylor’s early years as a runner, she lost many races. She learned from them, practiced more and continued to display improvements in the artistry. She endured the process throughout her training and reached a significant amount of accomplishments as a runner. With each phase of her life, she was committed to the goal and grew to master the artistry of running. With each phase, she improved her outlook from what it was (her reality) until she reached what she perceived or viewed in her mind – Olympic victory.

      Taylor could have very well operated on an intermediate level – a level where she walked and ran like any normal person with a moderate exercise level. However, at the birth of her goal – Olympic victory – came the need for her to move from intermediate to expert. She learned the art of finishing
