One of the hardest things in life is consistency. Can you even think of one aspect of life where this does not hold true? I can’t. With health, diet, exercise, parenting, setting goals, maintaining friendships, keeping up your house or yourself…or your blog…consistency is the key to success. And…I’ve been slacking.
While I was debilitated by my peg leg, I was darn consistent and it was fun and easy to write every day. I have been distracted by all the wonderful activities I can now participate in and I have neglected this fun blog. I have thought of great topics most days and then by 10 or 11 p.m. been too tired and figured I’d post the next day, but then the next day became the next day and…I am middle aged, so I forgot about said, cool topic and the post was never written.
This resonates for most things in life as well. Wait to long and you miss the best part. Fail to be consistent and fall short of important life goals. Focus too much on what needs to be done and the special, important moments will pass you by. My blog moments may not be the most important, but they are fun. The documenting of the insanities of my life and the loves of my life make them seem all the more worthwhile.
In what part of your life do you need to be more consistent? I’m fascinated to know. I’m going to be more consistent starting tonight. My posts might not be fabulous and life altering, but they will be there. I’ll start with every other day for now…just be consistent, right?
