This haiku was inspired after reading Edina Abina Jackson’s article “What Would Happen if You Went All Out?” Sometimes people get lazy when it comes to giving their all when attempting to complete a task. I had this attitude whenever I had to participate in group projects for certain college classes during my undergraduate years or assignments at my former jobs I didn’t care to do. Unfortunately, this habit also manifested in some of my creative endeavors later in life.
I’ll admit that there have been times when this occurred writing and publishing a Medium article or two. I didn’t give 100% of my efforts to completing the task at hand, but that won’t be the case going forward, especially now that I’m focused on becoming the best writer I can be.
If you want to accomplish any goal for something you enjoy that could bring you happiness, prosperity, abundance, security, etc. or change your life for the better, you must put your heart and soul into the matter. No ifs, ands, or buts about it!
Today I will give my all towards the successful completion of any project I’m currently working on.
