With many of critical ventures in progress, I’ve decided to backpedal and consider my end-games. What am I actually trying to achieve and when? Painting the end-game has served me well in the past but it’s not quite a routine habit as I’m pulled into new, interesting situations and often move forward on sheer enthusiasm.
Everything that has a beginning has an end
Defining the end is something I think we naturally avoid, end of life for devices is usually clearly identified by the manufacturer. The vendor will have a specific future date when they will no longer support the hardware or software and you are on your own “when” it fails.
End of actual Life is seldom contemplated as we hate to consider our own mortality, and Last Will and Testaments are pushed to the bottom of our do-lists until we are told by a medical professional to “put our affairs” in order.
I haven’t worked out how to face this positively but will give myself some time to look at what I’m doing now and write my end-games by 1-Sept 2018.
