My mentor and friend Jeff Smith sent me an email this morning after completing a big Marathon in London this past week. We were talking about things wrapping up and finishing strong before taking a new task on. He stated:
Complete things with a burst of energy - it is amazing where it comes from when you must have it - the last 2 miles of the run turn the corner at Big Bend and down to Buckinham Palace where the bandstand is and birdcage walk up St James Park - 3-400,000 people - cheering for you - you have no energy left after 5 hours of running and yet - from somewhere, you dig deep, you burst into a faster run and then a sprint for the finish.
Great words! Many things in life are like a race with segments in between. Each part of the race matters but the end is an opportunity to shine.
