It has been a long time coming, but here is a post!
Why has it been so long? That is a question I have been asking myself a lot lately. Why can’t I finish what I start? Why is motivation such a scant resource for me? The answer I came upon was actually a rather simple one: Habit. I began to realize the driving role that habit really plays in human behavior. Nearly everything we do is a habit, even doing nothing is a habit. That last little realization is what gave me the solution to all of my problems.
The answer is of course persistence. Stick to something, even when it hurts, and eventually it will become second nature. In fact, the more uncomfortable you are in any situation, the quicker you will learn new skills and behaviors. When the pressure to fold is the highest, you cannot give in. That is giving up right as you are about to win!
A pretty simple lesson, but an important one, and I will try my hardest to keep it fresh in my mind.
