“Success is completion. Success is being able to complete what we set out to do – each individual action, each specific step, each desired experience whether a big project or a very small errand.” – Susan Collins
“Completions are just new beginnings. Complete your project to have a fresh start.” – Gulara Vincent
“The life of a winner is the result of an unswerving commitment to a never-ending process of self-completion.” – Terry Bradshaw
“Create the highest grandest vision possible for your life, because you become what you believe.” – Oprah Winfrey
“To acknowledge something is complete is important in relation to what you are creating because your subconscious doesn’t know that it’s over once you have actually completed your creation until you tell it, it’s over.” – William Whitecloud
When a year ends and a new one begins, it’s important to acknowledge that you’ve completed a journey or phase in your life.
Additionally if you fail to get the outcome or end result you want, you get to review it, learn, internalize what didn’t work, so there’s an internalization of what didn’t work and how you’re not going to continue to apply what didn’t work in the future. It also frees up your energy.
When you create something, to whatever degree you have success with your creation – the message to the subconscious is, “Yes I’ve created that! It was a creation and I created it.” This reinforces in your subconscious that you are powerful as a Creator. It establishes momentum that you can use to go forward.
So we are always completing! If you work on a project and you complete it, you complete that. If you complete a relationship, you complete that. If something doesn’t work out and we go “Ok clean break from this” we complete it.
We don’t only complete at the end of something, we complete at relevant phases as well.
That’s why we celebrate New Year. We have fireworks and a big celebration as we recognize the completion of some kind of cycle. We celebrate birthdays acknowledging that a cycle of 365 days around the sun is complete.
And we start a new chapter. We commence the next chapter or phase of life.
In our society & culture, we recognize that a chapter is 365 days.
New Year is a good time to complete, take the lessons of before and gather the energy for momentum for moving forward and give our subconscious a message.
This is a far better way of commencing a new year than having a “New Year’s Resolution” such as I’m going to quit smoking or drinking, I’m going to get into shape, I’m going to spend more time with my family, I’m not going to let people treat me like a doormat etc.
These resolutions don’t work because all you’re doing is taking what hasn’t worked for you and focusing on, “I’m going to do the opposite.” It’s just a negative vision; it’s a compensating tendency that perpetuates what didn’t work.
Conversely, when you write a book and finish it, you start getting more ideas for creating the next book. If you are a painter and you paint a canvas, once you complete the painting and sign it, you’re already getting inspiration about the next thing you’ll be painting.
This is powerful because it’s directive. It’s true directive energy. Gathering our energy and putting it into something meaningful, true, that will ensure it flows.
For helping you get completion for the previous year, set an intention that you’re going to get the best result and be served by a great completion process.
Then ask yourself the following questions:
“What have I created?”
Ask yourself this question and write down what intuitively comes to you. It may be your successes and wins or sometimes it’s what you’ve failed at or screwed up because we all make mistakes. Include your successes, screw-ups and anything else you’ve created. Essentially in the previous year, what did you create? And it can be some backward steps, wasted energy or whatever you’ve created.
“What am I over?”
What doesn’t serve me any more? What don’t I want to go forward with any more? What am I not interested in any more? So what are you over?
Write down all the things that intuitively come to you that you no longer want to repeat in this “new year”.
“What will I create next?”
What am I going to create now in this next phase, in this next season of life, in this next revolution around the sun. This is the most important question so again see what comes to you intuitively from your heart and write it all down.
Some people assume that what they’re going to create next is going to take more work and will be beyond what they do now.
It’s actually less because you reduce things down to the heart of it.
Less is more. You get down to the heart of something and it’s one thing. Where you make the money is coming up with the theme of what you’re creating and it is distilled down to a sentence.
When I submitted my book to the editor she wanted a synopsis and it was 500 words. The synopsis is the theme of your book or manuscript and it needs to be distilled down into 1 sentence. That sentence is called the “Essence Sentence.” It identifies the essence of your story in one sentence. When you take the time to hone it down to that 1 sentence you’re able to shoot a “bulls-eye” because you target the heart of the very thing you’ve created.
By having that single sentence, or phrase, that encapsulates,” What is this about?” You’re able to crystalize “what is the very heart of it.” When you do that it generates everything else.
It’s coming back to what is it? What am I about? What do I do? That’s a solid foundation and a lot can arise from that. It’s going to be simple because it’s going to arise organically out of that foundation.
Use this completion process to springboard into this New Year and have it as a foundation for an amazing year ahead!
