T.G.I.F. Chip for today - Consistent/Inconsistent

[caressa]

This one stood out for me. Most things in my life are very inconsistent but as a rule, as a person I am not sure. Often do repeat what I have heard form others and program phrases although I do think I have a few words of my own.

A consistent thinker is a thoughtless person, because he conforms to a pattern; he repeats phrases and thinks in a groove. Jiddu Krishnamurti

I look at it as a thing of integrity. I will always be there for someone when I can.

My health issues and sleeping disorder and other things don't always allow me to keep to a schedule of doing things at the same time every day, but I seldom miss. Quite often I am early or late, but I always try to get there.

All sympathy not consistent with acknowledged virtue is but disguised selfishness. Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Consistent/Inconsistent

“I believe life is constantly testing us for our level of
commitment, and life's greatest rewards are reserved
for those who demonstrate a never-ending commitment
to act until they achieve. This level of resolve can move
mountains, but it must be constant and consistent. As
simplistic as this may sound, it is still the common
denominator separating those who live their dreams from
those who live in regret.” - - Anthony Robbins

I don't do well in chaotic or erratic situations and
could never live this life style. I suppose the older
I get, the more set in my ways I become, order and
routines make me much more comfortable. I like to think
of myself as the turtle in the race, I am slow and steady
but I will cross the finish line.

There will always be things that happen in life that I
just have to accept... I know that "nothing changes
if nothing changes", but I make these changes slowly
and live life one day at a time. Once changes occur and
become a constant part of my life, it makes acceptance
far more simple.

So far, I have no diagnosed health issues that have
made my lifestyle less consistent. But when and if it
does happen I will have to accept the fact that it just
time to slow down. Right now if I slow down to much
more I will be at a standstill..... ;D

Peace on the journey, SunnyGirl

In the past I consistently made the wrong choices. I chose ways of behaing and reacting that were not makeing me better. Today I know I do need to be consistent but in a way that helps me be a happier person. Today I try to be consistent in the way I react if my spouse is drinking. I need to be consistent in holding my boundaries such as neve riding in the car with him if he's drinking. I can do those two things fairly wellmost of hte time. SO I am more on the consistent side than the inconsistent side of this chip.

You are a consistent person Lin. If you miss your daily routine, it is generally a result of someone else's actions or one of the dogs are sick. You seldom miss here and you are the only long-timer, as you were here before me.

I was always here, except when my computer broke down or the time they kicked me off for posting too much. All I was trying to do was have new material for people to read when they visited the site. It is attraction, not promotion, so I was hoping people would join and for the most part they did, but they didn't post much at all.

EoR has been my home group on line for about 22 years. So I would say I have been consistent. I am here even when I am hurting, because it always helps me to come on line and share, which helps me to get out of Self. I feel better as a result of reading the daily meditations each day.

It is no longer Friday, and it isn't July, but this chip works in today.
