Finished
Just over 500 years ago, a thirty-three year-old artist was commissioned by the Vatican for the job of a lifetime. In 1508, Michelangelo climbed up onto a piece of scaffolding, laid down on his back, and began painting scenes from the Bible. The result, as many of us know today, were some of the mostly beautifully depicted scenes of the Bible ever painted.
The most famous of them, perhaps, is the image of God reaching out to Adam, their fingers almost touching. I can't imagine spending four years lying up in a piece of scaffolding, my nose just inches from a ceiling, painting, stroke by stroke, the entire ceiling for an enormous room. But four years is how long it took Michelangelo to complete the frescos of the Sistine Chapel. And can you picture what his reaction must have been when he brushed the last detail on the final scene?
I imagine he rushed down the scaffolding, absolutely exultant, and I wouldn't be surprised if he cried out in joy over and over and over again, ''It is finished! It is finished!''
The Art of Finishing
''Whatever it takes to finish things, finish. You will learn more from a glorious failure than you ever will from something you never finished.''
