Oh yes, I’ve done it again. I’m doing a Friday Rambling on a day other than Friday. Maybe I should just call it Rambling and forget about staying consistent. Rambling, by definition, lacks structure, right. But isn’t the point of any change or any new behavior, consistency. And this is still new for me. I’ve surely said it and understand the importance of striving for consistency. So is it time for me to throw in the towel, take my ball and go home, or whatever cliche fits? Maybe I just need to accept that, at least with this, there’s no way for me to pull off a post every Friday.

I think thats the sticky part of we as human beings. Just like the fact that not all of us have the make up to be an athlete or a musician or a scientist, we all have different strengths. And of course, weaknesses (or to let you down softly, “not strengths”). I know one of mine is consistency with new things. Maybe others struggle with trying new things or being honest. Maybe being open or having patience ties people up in knots. Ok, good to know. So what do you do with it?

I guess, for me, I will continue to pursue consistency with this new endeavor. However, I have to understand that 100% may be out of the realm of reality for me. No need to give up yet, though. I can strive for 80% and celebrate anything above that. For some it may sound like a cop out. For me, I’d much rather deal in reality than give up because the fantasy is impossible.
