Consistency=Key
November 16, 2020“Consistency is key.” -unknown
con·sist·en·cy/kənˈsistənsē/ -noun (conformity in the application of something, typically that which is necessary for the sake of logic, accuracy, or fairness.
I’ve been told this above phrase a lot in my life. Like a lot a lot. I struggle with ADHD (not an excuse, just a diagnosis and I don’t require sympathy for it, trust me), so consistency comes hard for me at times and with a bit more of a struggle then your regular average Jane. So if you’re looking for a consistent, boring photographer or artist or human being…please look elsewhere. I am not that gal.
Here is what I’m consistently consistent about (no matter what):
* talking like a hurricane (if I trust you. If I don’t, I’m quiet)
* being random AF (my mind moves fasssst. Like super fast. Try to keep up if you can. See above–ADHD…this is both a blessing and a curse)
* loyalty- being your friend (I’m loyal to a fault, sometimes to my own detriment)
*truth - I will tell you the truth as kindly as I can even if it hurts sometimes, and if it hurts it means it hit a chord
*loving and seeking out the magic in life
*gratitude (I’ve almost died about 5 times in my life. After that, you don’t take things lightly! But those are stories for another day/novel.)
*loving the arts
*making music
*making art
*growth (especially spiritual growth…i am committed to growth, no matter how small or big…always have been. No other way to evolve)
*not taking it personally, unless you meant it that way. (and as an empath, I will know if you did, whether I said so or not)
*advocating for those who can not advocate for themselves
* willingness to learn and being open-minded
Here’s what I’m not consistent at:
* jealousy
* inauthenticity
* copying other people
* staying true to one hair color for longer than a year
* bitching/complaining (vent it to someone you trust, then let it the FUCK go!)
* putting people down
* staying stagnant or staying in the same place for too long (physical or metaphysical)
* backstabbing (don’t do it. Stopped that shit when I was 20, both in business and my personal life)
* narcissism or people who crave attention for attention’s sake (It’s 2020 and social media is a big thing—kinda inescapable, especially if you own a business, so it’s hard to tell the difference sometimes on this one for me. There is good attention and bad attention as well.)
* knowing my worth (sometimes I forget what I’m worth. I have been working on this and I suggest you do the same!)
* giving up on people
* giving up on coffee
* giving up smoking cigarettes (it’s disgusting and I hate it. Any help you can offer is most appreciated, but ultimately, I think its all in my head, as is anything)
* giving up.
