Patience And Consistent Behavior

Many topics of conversation are begun by using social media these days.  When someone posts something that they found interesting it can come in the form of a picture, video or perhaps a written article.  There is an immediate connection that comes with this occurrence in that a multitude of people will see what you want them to see at the same time.  I was thinking about this as it relates to where we are in our own life's journey.  Similar to headline news items that catch our eye, only those that appeal to us make us read a bit further.  Yet, in most of the cases surrounding everyday living, much of happens daily may not necessarily be newsworthy to you.  Interestingly, what is mundane to some may be exciting to others. I usually spend a good amount of time looking for a story that has a positive twist, which may be worth sharing with someone else.  Over time what I have noticed is that my energy in attempting to seek these stories, has created a magnetic pull that allows for these to gravitate towards me more often than not.  I find those instances of discovery to be so fulfilling, that I keep them as a reminder of what is possible when you put forth the energy to seek certain things.   Whether you are at a period of your life that is making you question your existence or simply in a state of stagnation, the answer always lies in what will motivate you to go in a different direction.  When you put effort into something, it can mean that there is consistency behind the energy to do this, yet, not necessarily with immediate results.  There have been many periods in my life where I thought that some things should have been moving much further along than they were.  In retrospect, I learned that there is much to be learned by having patience along with consistent behavior.  When you think about the obvious with regards to the question of losing weight, people want a miracle cure, pill or other quick fix.  The fact is, that it took quite a long time to put the weight on and therefore it will take some effort to undo the damage.  Not exactly what people want to hear, including myself at times, however, it is what it is.  As you calculate your next steps towards achieving your next goal, consider the behavior that you would want to model publicly, along with the consistency that is needed to carry it out.  It may be uncomfortable in the beginning, but with a bit of time you should find yourself cruising along while you obtain your desired results.
