Day 9 What if I’m avoiding starting, not finishing?
This is a live transmission from the Mental Dojo — raw, unfiltered thought sparring. No edits. No conclusions. Just real-time thinking.
I’ve been questioning why I don’t finish things — but today, something else surfaced.
What if I’m not avoiding finishing? What if I’m actually avoiding starting?
Maybe not finishing something protects me from the discomfort of starting something new. If I never finish, I don’t have to face the uncertainty of beginning again — I stay in a loop that feels familiar, even if it leads nowhere.
I also realized I announce things to others — not because I need their approval, but because doing so almost guarantees I’ll feel pressured to finish — and that pressure makes me stop.
And then came the most unexpected thought:
"What if no one ever knew I finished something?"
That idea made me smile — because I realized it wouldn’t matter. No one would care. It’s not the finishing that matters — it’s the doing.
Maybe completion isn’t the goal. Maybe the real power lies in celebrating each step along the path — without feeling the need to prove anything at all.
End of Transmission.
