The Beginning of the End or is it the End of the Beginning?

The year long UBBT is nearing the count down. We have two weeks to make this a finish to remember. Soon it will be time to reflect on where this challenge has brought us...was there growth, gain or achievement? Did the challenge go smoothly through the entire year...? Did you challenge yourself to build yourself or defeat yourself? There are so many questions to ask and so much to learn from this test.

The question that I had to ask myself at the end of my first year was, "is this the beginning of the end or the end of the beginning? "Beginning of the end", meaning - the continuation of the first year and "end of the beginning", meaning - end of the what could have been a life long self learning tool.

I obviously chose the "beginning of the end" and will again next year.

Too many people choose to stop learning and stop challenging themselves. I see what that does and personally I think its best to keep your mind active, continue to learn (about yourself) and grow within.

All the best to my teammates, keep on learning!
