As we proceed deeper into the new year at what seems to be an incredible rate of speed, I am forced to come to some self realization.
When the new year started I decided that I was going to be more consistent with things in my life. This blog, for example, is something I wanted to be more consistent about. Looking back over the past year of my pieces showed me that I was rather sporadic. I’d have a week of blogs then some time off, then another week and some time off.
What became painfully obvious to me was that doing something consistently for a week does not make one consistent. In other words, to be consistent we need to do things consistently week after week.
Only by being consistently consistent can we consistently be consistent! Alright, now I even feel like I have taken this a little too far. But maybe I haven’t. One of the other things that I have come to see is that, unfortunately, being inconsistent can be some people’s only form of consistency.
Whether we choose to accept it or not, we are all either consistently consistent OR consistently inconsistent. I really don’t see any middle ground.
I am going to come clean right now. Last year I was more inconsistent than consistent. I found myself focusing in on some very direct goals while losing site of others. By doing this I was able to have some amazing experience but I missed out on some opportunities as well.
Had I been consistent, who is to say what other things may have arisen. Here is the thing about inconsistency. When we are inconsistent we can never fully realize our potential. The only way to maximize our potential and increase opportunities to reach that potential is by becoming and being consistent.
This year I am going to be consistently consistent with my faith, my family, my exercise, my nutrition, my business, my blogging, well with everything that I set inside my heart and mind to acheive.
This is going to be an awesome year. And if nothing else, a consistent one!
