Done

Today's thought piggy backs off of yesterday's blog.  It references the parable of the talents and the unprofitable servant in Matthew 25.  It came to me how thoughtful the unprofitable servant's response was.  He says," I knew you were a hard man, reaping where you sowed not".  He chose a lot of words to simply say.  I did nothing.  Here is what nothing sounds like
I didn't have time
It slipped my mind
I'll do it tomorrow
It's on the agenda
Don't think I forgot
I really tried to
I ran out of time
It wasn't in the budget
We create so many ways to say, that the job was not done.  I learned this one thing in management.  A job undone is a job undone no matter how you say it.  It pushes me to continue doing a thing until that thing is completely and totally done.  Only then can he say, " Well Done".  He can say well done if the job is done.
