struggles remind us we're alive, happiness reminds us we're not alone.

Its been brought to my attention my lack of consistency. Its not as easy as not being there at X o’clock when you say you’ll be there at X o’clock, rather its more along the lines of “you’d make it on time, keep your promise, treat it with first priority if it were for person X but not for person Y”.

I’ve realized how important building a good habit of becoming consistent is when you’ve got time because when you don’t have time, when you’re stressed, when things are out of control its when true character shines. When there isn’t time to read a book with a cup of coffee or even do laundry you start to see where habitual consistency kicks in. “Yeah, definitely, I’ll read your essays over for you,” really means yes, I’ll read them over for you by today or tomorrow, in a timely manner. Responses become more accurate – instead of “Yeah, I’ll read them” you respond “Hey, I think that realistically I have time to read two of the five, so could you send me all five and let me know which ones are most important to you?”.

Thanks Tim.
