There will never come a time when we are complete and finished human beings because the state of being complete and finished is against the entire concept of being human.
Done is a myth.
You can always be more and not just as an individual, either. My creative works are never complete. There is still room for more, But stories are meant to be shared and not to mention that I have deadlines to meet and readers to please.
I don’t want to come off sounding like one of these manic clingy authors who can’t release their creative babies into the world. What I’m trying to say is that If you are doing meaningful work that you enjoy, there’s nothing wrong with never being truly done with it? I think that is one of the advantages of people who live extraordinary lives.
Everything about them is a work in progress.
Don’t get me wrong.
Books complete.
That project at work has completed.
The movie production will complete.
But as a human beings, we are never complete and why should we be. We can always be better. That is the blessing of being human. There will always be things that we can get better at. There will always be things that challenge us. There will always be mistakes that we want to correct.
It says a lot about you as an individual if you view your life’s work worthy of continuous and never-ending effort. It also helps you when things aren’t going according to plan. Because you see these challenges as a part of a bigger picture that you can work on to improve. For you, failure doesn’t exist.
You never lose, either you win, or you learn.
Never think you have everything figured out because the second we feel like we are no longer a work in progress is the second we stagnate.
I’m here to defend being a work in progress. I am ‘unfinished business,’ and you should be too.
