In some areas of life, value is unlocked by starting. Even a five-minute workout or a short walk can reset your mood and benefit your body.
In other areas, value is unlocked by finishing. It does you no good to build a bridge halfway across the river. You need to complete the project to realize the value.
Do you need to start or finish? Are you building a body or building a bridge?

The goal of examen isn’t to tally up your sins and failures from the day. The focus of examen is discernment. Where in my day am I being drawn toward God? And when am I being pulled away? When you’re disciplined in praying the prayer of examen, you’ll begin to note patterns in your life. You’ll notice how the roses and thorns tend to cluster around certain places, people, times, and activities. As you make these observations, you can begin to make adjustments, really leaning into and savoring the moments of consolation while becoming more intentional about addressing what triggers the moments of desolation.
