What a great reminder for today! I muttered to myself, "be consistent". And this brought me wondering how my life could have turned out so differently in so many different possibilities if I had practiced consistency in my life.
Maybe I had been launching my own art exhibits now if I had been consistent with my practices in painting. Having a talent isn't enough. But I still think, it ain't too late for me to polish my skills more.
Maybe I would have been independent from my parents already if I had been consistent with my business start-ups and online ads. Maybe I could have started my own brand name already by now if and only if...
Maybe I would have graduated by now if I had been consistent with my prayers to God. I wouldn't have been depressed from the start, I wouldn't be taking drugs by now to suppress my melanchol, anxiety and insomnia.
Maybe I could have thousands of subscribers now in my YouTube account if I had been consistent with my own video recordings of my song covers.
Maybe I would be as tall as 5'10", my dream height, now if I had been consistent with my sleep schedule and growth enhancers.
Maybe I wouldn't be suffering these ugly acne scars if I had been consistent with my hygienic routine or my visits to the dermatologist.
But.
I focused more on academics that's why I wasn't consistent with pursuing my passion in arts, that's why I stopped my business startups, that's why I didn't grow taller because of my late night reviews, that's why I couldn't find time to vocalize and do more recordings.
That's just life. We are imperfect. We are inconsistent.
But still...
So now I'm left with only one choice and that is to continue my studies industriously. Because I chose studies. Now I need to remind myself always that I need to be consistent with it.
I admire people who can multitask and still manage to be consistent with all those things. I admire their discipline. That kind of discipline is hard to incorporate in one's system. I have the talent to multitask but I admit in myself I am full of inconsistencies.
Now I know. Den, be consistent!
