If you zoom in, you’ll notice I have a skinned knee.
At 56 years old.
Honestly, I can’t remember the last time I had one. It may have been fifty years ago. For some reason I lean toward NEVER.
Speaking of which it never even occurred to me to edit it out because...it’s kind of on brand. Call it GOBLINTIMACY. Call it showing up as I am. Either way, the knee stayed.
Because here’s the thing, people often think consistency is about never falling down.
I don’t.
Life knocks all of us down sometimes. Some days I have 100% to give. Other days, like today, I have about 20%.
So today I gave 100% of my 20%.
Because that’s never been the part I worry about.
There was a time when I worried that if I stopped, I’d never start again.
I don’t worry about that anymore.
I know myself.
I know I’ll be back (please read like Arnold).
Because I’ve built enough self-trust to believe my own promises.
Consistency isn’t about never falling. It’s about becoming someone who returns.
That’s what consistency has given me.
The confidence that I’ll come back.
That’s the hidden power of showing up.
