I have not been very “Consistently Persistent” lately. In fact I have fallen off the wagon over the past couple of months. I was so inspired when I started this blog and I was even more inspired when I built and started pitching my website (www.OurHealthyVillage.com …Check it out! 😉 ) back in March. I thought I would be an automatic success and I would be able to blog about it, maybe write a book and do some talks and help others achieve their goals… And then I realized delays and set backs. I basically ran out of money to live off of while I was getting my website out there. As a result I have had to put things on the back burner and work towards other aims just to get by….
But “this morning I woke up feeling brand new, I jumped up, feeling my highs and my lows, in my soul and my goals…” I love Talib Kweli!
I started the day off with a quick meditation and took a walk. While I walked I was listening to a Seth Godin podcast and Tom Ziglar, Zig Ziglar’s son, was being interviewed. If you have never heard any of Zig Ziglar’s talks, I highly recommend that you check him out, especially if you are a fellow entrepreneur. Very motivational. Anyhow, so Tom Ziglar mentioned an idea of his dad’s which was the idea of being consistently persistent. I looked inward and asked myself if I was truly being consistently persistent. Just the fact that I haven’t written a blog in months answers that question. So here I am, giving it another shot.
The best part of where I am sitting right now is the fact that I have experienced a great set back and a huge disappointment after spending so much time talking myself and my ideas for the website up to where I thought it was going to be too easy. It has been a good reality check, but at the same time, to tell myself that I won’t back down, that I want to make this work, that I AM going to make this work… I am going to work towards being consistently persistent and success will just follow!
Thanks for reading and have a great day! 🙂
