The New Month

Growth is such a simple yet phenomenal concept, to me at least. It's pretty straight forward. Nurture, the right conditions and consistency would bring growth. And that proves true in every aspect of growth: spiritual, physical, mental, every single way. 

Everything else that leads to growth doesn't give me any issues but consistency? 

Consistency is a daily battle. I know without a doubt that to get to where I want to be, consistency is essential. But to actually be consistent is a war.

The start of new things always give me a different type of excitement and motivation. It makes me feel like I can start afresh. A clean slate. February felt like a messy month for me. My schedule was out of whack more often than not and I was stressed and frustrated. But I was feeling and doing better by the end of the month.

Now it's a new month and when February was ending I remember thinking that two months of 2024 were already gone. The year we all thought was crawling is definitely picking up speed. It makes me want to be apprehensive of what I have and have not accomplished. But I know better than to cry over spilt milk. Especially since there's a whole tin of milk left. (I'm not funny, I know). 

Anyway, in this new month I want to redefine my vision, so I know what I really want and what I'm working toward. I want to redirect my focus in accordance to my goals. 

It's simple, really.

The end must be completely different from the beginning. And it will be, by the mercy of God. 

~Romans 9:16~

So like I said in the beginning, here's to trying, failing and trying again. 

Inconsistency won the battle, but I'll win the war. 
(What does that even mean?)

Since my last post: 

• I've overcome the slump. 
• I'm learning to not stress myself out (Level: Impossible Hard).
• I deleted social media because I wanted to take a break and to try to overcome the scrolling culture. It shouldn't be too hard. Let's see how I do. 
• I've tried and failed to build useful habits (in the past two months). We go again? 

Thank you so much for reading to the end! Please comment and share :)
The next post is a short story so stay tuned!
