The Power of Completion - a podcast by Mike Robbins
from 2017-08-15T07:00
This week’s episode comes on the heels of the finishing of my manuscript for Bring Your Whole Self to Work. I feel a sense of accomplishment in having my work completed, and I realize having a deadline was a motivator for me. But, did I enjoy the process? Starting any creative project opens us up to vulnerability and discomfort, because we don’t know how it will turn out. What if we could be satisfied with the growth that accompanies the creation, not just the achievement that is the finished product?
What can you do to support and empower yourself in a positive way to grow and engage in the things that mean the most to you?
