#Completions and Why Do You Need Them

INSPIRATIONAL QUOTE

FULL TRANSCRIPT

Hello and welcome to the Malkan Show podcast. I am Meghana Malkan, thank you so much for joining me today for this episode of the podcast.

I know your time is valuable and I am really happy that you are listening to me today.

I have begun this podcast because after being coached by the world’s best, I wanted to share with you guys what success habits, success tools, and cues have helped me get onto higher levels of performance at work, have great relationships with my spouse and kids and what really helped me stay focused and motivated all the time.

So, guys let’s dive into the next episode. Are there any areas of your life where you have incomplete projects or failed to get closure with people?

Where you don’t complete the past, you cant be free to fully embrace the present. When you start a project or make an agreement or identify a change that you need to make it goes into your present memory bank and it takes up something called an attention unit.

We can only pay attention to so many things at one time and each promise agreement or item on your to-do list leaves fewer attention units to be dedicated to completing the present task and bringing new opportunities and advances into your life.

So, why don’t people complete? Often incompleteness defines areas in our life where we are not clear or where we have emotional and or where we have psychological blocks.

For instance, you might have a lot of requests, projects, tasks, and other things on your desk which you really want to say no to but you are afraid of being perceived as the bad guy.

So what you do is, you put off responding to avoid saying no. Meanwhile, the sticky notes and the stacks of paper pile up and distract you.

There may also be circumstances in which you have to make decisions that are difficult or uncomfortable. So, rather than struggling with the discomfort what you do is you let the incompletes pile up every day.

While some incompletions come from not having adequate systems or knowledge or expertise for handling these tasks, other ones pile up because of bad work habits.

Continuously ask yourself what does it take to actually get this task completed, then maybe you can begin to consciously take that step of filing those completed documents, mailing those forms that are required to be mailed, or reporting back to your boss that the project has been completed.

The truth is that 20 things completed have more power than 50 things half completed. One finished book for instance can go out and influence the world is better than 13 books you are in the process of writing.

So, rather than starting 15 projects that are incomplete and take up space in the house, you are better off you had started just 3 and completed them. And also to all these professional incomplete examples, most households are growing under the influence of too much clutter.

Too many papers, worn-out clothes, unused toys of kids, forgotten personal effects, and obsolete and broken and unneeded items.

If you really start counting the entire industry as hung up to help people and small businesses to store what they can’t fit in their homes and offices. But think about it guys, do we really need all this stuff? Of course not. One of the ways to free up attention units is to free your living and work environment from the mental burden of this clutter.

When you clear out the old, you also make room for something new and something fresh.

Take a look at your wardrobe for instance, if you are one of those who cannot put another thing into it when you struggle to pull out a dress or shirt, that maybe one of the reason why you don’t have more clothes.

If you haven’t worn them in 6 months and it is not a seized or a special occasion item such as a gown or a suit of course you can rid of it, don’t you think? If there's anything new in your life, you have got to make room for it. I mean that psychologically as well as physically literally.

If you want a new man in your life, you have got to let go. Forgive and forget. The last one you stopped dating a few years ago but if you don’t then that new man meets you the unspoken message picks up, is this woman attached to someone else.

She hasn’t let go of it. While we don’t throw over clutter and items we don’t need it’s as if we don’t trust our ability to manifest the necessary abundance in our lives to buy new ones. But incompletes like these keep that very abundance from showing up.  

We need to complete the past so that our present can show up more fully.

One important question you can ask here is, is there anything irritating you because like incompletes, daily irritants are equally damaging your success because they also take up attention units.

Perhaps, imagine you have a missing button on your suit and because of that, you can’t wear it to an important meeting.

So, one of the best ways that you can do to move further and faster along your success path is to fix, replace, mend, or get rid of that daily irritant that annoys you and stay on your mind for long.

Maybe you could consider walking through every room of yours, your garage, or your office place or wherever it is that you work.

Jotting down all those things that really irritate you, annoy you or bother you and then arranging to get each one handled well. Of course, none of these might be urgent to your business or life-threatening to your life but every time you notice them and wish they were different, they pull energy from you.

They are simply subtracting energy from your life instead of adding energy to your life.

So, go ahead guys, finish the incompletes in your life and see the difference.-
