I’ll be discussing what the phrase “I’m not done yet” means at this stage of life. It’s an inspirational word at least. There’s plenty of people that say this when they’re in the building stages of life, but not enough people that truly understand and embody what it means. I’m choosing to discuss this today in order to be a light of motivation for those that at least get the gist of it, but need a little more guidance on the topic. But let’s get into the meaning of it. Here we go.
What the phrase “I’m not done yet” means at this stage of life
It means opportunity. There’s a sense of optimism that slightly trumps the sometimes frustrating moment of monotony. The positive feelings that can be assured at this point of life is in knowing that improvements can be made. There’s an open door for being open minded and that becomes a form of empowerment because it also assures that there’s options moving forward in life.
What it means when someone says “I’m done”
I’m done is a declaration. It’s a statement that claims an act or state of being is finished. We see it all the time in where someone else or even ourselves makes a word that we’re eventually held accountable to. Again, that’s the case when “I’m done” is the message.
Most people think it means you’re quitting something. And I share those sentiments. It’s a wishy washy scenario though.
Sharing that you quit something sometimes works in your favor and others times against it.
It could be applied to:
- someone that’s quitting a team or group they were apart of
- destructive habits or tendencies that’s holding them back in life
The best way to go about dealing with someone who tells you this is by supporting them in their decision; specifically if they’re an equal to you.
If you’re what you consider to be a superior to whoever it is and you wanna go the extra mile, encourage them to tough it out.
When someone makes it clear that they’re done, and you find interest in them, there should only be concern if there’s no intent to supplement the thing being dropped.
What’s the biggest red flag in a guy?
The biggest red flag in a guy is being un-coachable.
This was a lesson that was preached to me throughout the entirety of my collegiate career for wrestling.
I started the sport in junior high and was probably getting lessons in it then but it was emphasized much more in college.
It transfers really well into life outside of sports.
When you consider working with anyone else it’s something that’s non negotiable.
You have to be coachable in order to survive and eventually thrive.
How Much I think time plays a role with the phrase
I would say it’s less about time than what most would suggest.
The curve of desire tends to work in the favor of those choosing to lead off of passion.
When you’re moving with motivation in an area that requires sacrifice, you’re not “watching the clock” so to speak.
That’s where growth happens the most! You’re driven with intentions of getting better in a certain area of life.
Time becomes something that either promotes you or exposes you.
That means when you get to the point of saying I’m done with something, it soon becomes abundantly clear whether that choice was yours or not.
