Accomplishing a goal doesn’t happen or even progress without power. It’s weird looking back when I did this review of Personal Development for Smart People I thought that I was pretty well aligned with the power principle. Boy was I wrong.

I want to build my power. On a day to day basis I succumb to distractions and procrastinate on small tasks. When I look back on the day, I see that nothing gets done. I can start something, but I don’t finish as much as I would like to. When I look back on my life, I see a trail of uncompleted goals. Leaving a task uncompleted has become a habit in itself, so I want to break that habit and replace it with the habit of completion.

The Power of Completion

It’s funny how when I made a decision to build my power I unconsciously started reading more powerful articles and buying books with power in the title. The Power of Less, Unlimited Power, Time Power, The Power of Now, The Power of Partnerships. If you’ve ever completed something that has tested you or pushed your limits, then you understand that there’s power in completion. To know that you have the power to finish what you start makes it a lot easier to start in the first place. You don’t have this voice in the back saying “Is this just one of your stops before you jump onto the next big project that you also won’t finish?”

Finding this focus was pretty huge for me. Since I know that my focus is very important in growth, I’ve gone back and forth on where to put that focus. Do I focus on money and finances? Health? Education and knowledge? Putting a focus on any of those mean nothing if there’s no power to complete the day to day tasks to get to those desired goals.

I started writing this article at 10:00am and I’m done at 12:00am. I went straight through with no distractions, and I’m feeling pretty powerful now. I feel this is a start in building the habit of completion.
