It has now been almost a month since I have consistently written for this blog. I have explained in a previous post the reasons for my inconsistency and my desire to get back on track. This consistency blog and the lessons I've learned from it (from both my successes and failures) have helped me to grow and mature.
I have recognized my strengths and weaknesses, my needs and desires, and the things I am willing to fight for (and the things I am not). I've realized the things I need to pick up and work more diligently on, and I've recognized those things that I need to put down and leave behind.
Being consistent requires prioritizing and understanding what is of the most importance. Right now, my priorities include improving my time management, focus, creative and academic writing, overcoming fear, and increasing my confidence.
I've learned that consistency doesn't mean beating myself up when I fall short of a goal or miss a deadline. It means not giving up when I do. It means getting back in the game and continuing to move forward, never letting the challenges of life stop me. It means picking up where I left off and trekking bravely onward.
Consistency (and the lack thereof) is a teacher of grace, patience, and understanding. It has opened my eyes to the importance of failing and the lesson of not giving up. Consistency asks how bad you want it and is a strengthener of resolve. Consistency keeps you moving forward toward greatness.
And that's just where I'm headed!
