Unfinished Business

We all know the phrase.  We find ourselves facing the task.  Whether it be work or something different we know it needs to be done.  But why did we leave it in the first-place?  Was something more important?  Why did this business have to wait when it was so important to begin with?  It strikes a cord with the absurd.  People should never have anything to do with it.  Yet, if you ask somebody if there is something left to finish in life, chances are--there needs to be something done.



It can be very unsettling to think about.  Thoughts of regret may pop up or feelings of unimportance will consume us.  If you stopped then, why think about starting all over again?  It needs to be done!  How can one live with unfinished business?  Certainly the feeling of completion is a relief.  Perhaps it shouldn't have been that way but what other way could there have been?  There is only one way: finish what you started.  Then again, what if you didn't start it?  Maybe someone else put you into a position you didn't want to be in.



It could have been finished... if.  If what?  There can be many reasons you decided to stop.  All sorts of factors could have impeded your progress.  When something can't be done it must be finished later.  That is when you will stop doing what you are doing to start finishing what should have already been done.
