For Saturday, March 6: Until

How long should you try? Until. Jim Rohn

Trying your hand at something takes perseverance.  And to give up after one or two attempts may indicate you've got some work to do on your personal character.  What does it say about you that you give up so easily?  Why do you give up so easily?  What needs to change in you to have the strength to keep at it?  Those kinds of questions plus others are worth asking and answering.  
What kind of answer is "until"?   It's the best kind.  "Until" tells you when it is time to stop or it has been accomplished.  There is no questioning with "until."  It you quit before "until" happens then you will always wonder, you may be stuck in a cycle of defeat, etc.  But if you keep trying right up until the "until" then you will know that you did everything you possibly could.  
Don't be afraid that you will miss the "until".  You won't.  How do I know?  I just do.  I know through my own life experiences, observations, efforts, "until" moments.  I just know and you can too.

The End of Affirmation 365

I've been thinking about it for over a month. Usually, when I'm in it I'm engaged. But this time? I started it indifferent and I've felt indifferent all along. I should have never started. Hindsight is 20/20 they say and they aren't wrong. So when I opened my eyes this morning it was clear. It's time. Time to quit this 365. This is the first 365 that I haven't posted several of the days, the first 365 that I wasn't super excited about, the first 365 that I've quit. I've changed my social media presence and interactions the past year so this is also the first 365 that hardly anyone has been interested in. Is it the topic or my decision to not be as accessible on social media? Or is it some other reason altogether? Well, regardless...I'm throwing in the towel on this one. I can't say if I'll ever do another 365 again. Time will tell and I will know if and when it's time.

Call it a Day

The literal use of this phrase hails from 1838 when the phrase originally was "call it half a day" to mean leaving work early. (source) The modern use of the phrase is to indicate ending something due to false sense of accomplishment.
