<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
You may be wondering why I’m writing all this about Consistency is Key,<\/a> and taking small, attainable, measurable\u00a0 steps to achieve your goals. Well I’ll tel you why I am doing this. It’s important to have a framework in which to achieve your dreams. They don’t just happen in a vacuum (unless your dream involves being in outer space which is the ultimate vacuum 😀).<\/p>\n In life we are constantly faced with challenges that affect us in certain ways.\u00a0I am challenging myself to lose weight this year. My plan for that is to workout for 30 minutes every day without fail. I have a support group that I hold myself accountable to, and we encourage each other on the journey.<\/p>\n I am also challenging myself to write in this ultimate blog challenge. 31 blogs in 31 days. It’s a challenge. My plan is to write for 15 minutes a day on my blog to post it. But what happens when you can’t meet that challenge and you fail? Do you give up? Do you quit?<\/p>\n So yesterday due to circumstances beyond my control and also due to the decisions that I made during the day, I was unable to finish my blog for January 3 – Consistency is Key – Part 2<\/a>. I decided that I was not going to be defeated. I was going to keep going. In the midst of your consistency<\/p>\n So today, I finished my short blog from yesterday, and I’m going to finish this one too. Then I’m going to pick up my guitar and practice my song for this weekend. I may be challenged, but I won’t be defeated. When you look for me I will be playing with a smile and I will be Playing It By Ear.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" You may be wondering why I’m writing all this about Consistency is Key, and taking small, attainable, measurable\u00a0 steps to achieve your goals.
