Some people soak, ingest and wallow in the output of others. They can sing or rap a dozen lyrics of the most popular songs. They can quote lines from the academy award winning films. They have twitter alerts setup to better recruit or trade their fantasy football teams…
Some people ideate, imagine and journal a whole host of innovations. Every new idea is like a double shot of espresso, sending them in circles with excitement and frenzy…
Finally, some people just do, ship things and produce things. Maybe not the most creative or original. But they get things done while their friends are internally critical, cynical, jealous or unaware.
I know everyone can’t be and won’t be a “finisher”. Just like everyone will not be an entrepreneur — and everyone can’t be the leader.
Some people will be followers. Some people will be the employees. Some people will be the crowd.
But if we have an idea, a dream, a gift, a talent or assignment — we can be many things in many seasons. But before our life ends, we must eventually become a finisher. Not a professor, perfecter or expert, but a finisher.
