LM: #288: Cracking the safe
Finishing a project is like cracking a safe.
You’re moving, but it’s not always clear you’re making progress. You need to have faith that a moment will come when you are done.
And just when you think you’re close, you find the last 10% takes 90% of the time and effort. Yet sometimes, all at once, everything comes together, and the door swings open.

Like cracking a safe, if you don’t finish, all you’ve done will mean nothing. Sure, you can rationalize that you’ve learned something, but that doesn’t change the fact that the treasure – the money, the recognition, or the simple sense of accomplishment – remains locked away.
Like cracking a safe, as you move, you’re listening carefully for things to fall into place. You need the right combination of passion, taste, and personal motivation to find the finishing combo.
Book: Aristocrats (Amazon) explains what they are, and their history in Britain.
Cool: The WHAM! documentary (Netflix) tells the story of the group that launched George Michael’s music career, with an inspiring story of how at only 20 he self-produced “Careless Whisper.”
Best,
David
P.S. This is the last week to save huge on all my audiobooks, on platforms other than Audible. For example Mind Management is only $1.99 on Apple, B&N, and Chirp.
