Help!!! I May Be Missing the Consistency Gene.
Embarking on a quest to finish what I start
The heading is a blend of my tendency for the dramatic and a sincere plea for a prescription — a remedy, to the inconsistency bug that’s plagued me for as long as I can remember — because the only thing I’m consistent at, is being inconsistent.
It’s a relentless bug, one that ensures my best-laid plans turn out to be nothing more than a tangled web of starts and stops. Within my Medium Stories folder sits one of many proofs — 38 published stories with 49 in draft, not to mention numerous half-written posts scattered across my computer.
If consistency were a gene, it seems I missed the memo on its activation. Join me on this quest for a prescription to cure my chronic inconsistency — it might just be the remedy we all need.
Documenting my journey to freedom
I’ll be embarking on a journey of soul-searching and research, documenting the highs and lows here — assuming I can maintain the consistency necessary to make it worthwhile.
I’m someone with a variety of interests and a multitude of ideas. I am drawn to a diverse range of pursuits, and the challenge lies in maintaining focus on a single endeavour long enough to witness its full potential unfold.
Noble intentions are not enough
Despite my noble intentions, intelligence, and a compassionate heart, the translation from aspiration to reality remains elusive. What persists, however, is my unwavering commitment to never stop trying, whether life unfolds according to my desires or takes unexpected turns.
In this journey, I cling to a powerful quote that resonates deeply:
“Starting a new way is never easy, so keep starting until the start sticks.”
~Tim Fargo
Moving forward with hope
I’m eager to embark on this journey, starting with Tim Fargo’s ‘Alphabet Success.’ Perhaps within its pages, I’ll begin to uncover insights into consistency that have eluded me thus far.
I genuinely believe in the value I can bring to the world, and it would be a shame if the weight of this vicious bug prevented my contributions from reaching their full potential.
I invite you to share your insights, tips, or personal experiences in the hope that together, we can navigate the path towards greater consistency, not just for me, but for all of us on this collective journey.
Until the next perfect time ~ Deola
