What we do consistently drives the course of our being.

Or from Aristotle… “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit”. 

Consistency also seems to come much easier in some areas than others. Like eating Taco Bell today makes it easier to eat it again tomorrow. And the things we find more difficult to execute will become that much harder when we leave them on the shelf.

Eating broccoli today, if I don’t like it is hard. It’s hard tomorrow and will be that much harder every day I make the choice not to eat my broccoli (Do you wonder why we pick on broccoli so much??

So the rub… how do we embrace the harder things? Sometimes it’s just a choice, setting an intention, nothing more.

But what if it’s not that simple?
