When It's All Over You've Only Just Begun

Have you ever come to the end of yourself? Have you reached a dead end and wondered what next?

When it's all over

you've only just begun!

Remember that!

I’ve lost in a few relationships.

I’ve had jobs that ran out.
     I've wondered "What next?"

Dead ends don't always mean dead ends.  Look for an opportunity to rebuild.

With every ending there is a new beginning.  Embrace it one step at a time.




“It’s not over till it’s over”, quipped Yogi Berra.

Yogi was referring to baseball. As long as there were innings left in the game, the team still had a chance.

How about this twist on Yogi’s thought? If you’re breathing you still have innings left in your game. What are you gonna do in the next inning?

Are you still alive and breathing?
          Then you have the seeds of a new beginning.

Do ideas still pop into your head?
          Then you have the seeds of a new beginning.

"Every adversity, every failure

and every heartache carries

with it the seed

of an equivalent

or a greater benefit."

Napoleon Hill

My friend Ron is going through “stuff” right now. His boss is shutting down the business that Ron has worked so hard on for the last bunch of years. Is he discouraged? Not Ron.

I just got an email from him this week. Listen to the optimism in his note..

“The future is looking hopeful, I really don't know how to react other than to live in the moment, and enjoy a breath of fresh air compared to the stress I've been living under these past couple of years."

A setback could be

the launching pad

for your

next great idea.

Remember …

When it’s all over,
you’ve only just begun.
