For Saturday, May 18: Keep on keeping on

It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop. Confucius

The con of our "fast-food-society" is we've been conditioned to believe that if *it* doesn't happen quick or happen immediately then we should just give up. But the reality is the the slower or longer it takes the better chance we have of *it* sticking. It is along the journey of *it* that we learn lessons of sustainability, patience, perseverance, courage, etc. If *it* happens too quickly then the chances for relapse are high because the necessary lessons haven't been learned. As the saying goes, "slow and steady wins the race" and the fable of the tortoise and the hare proved that. Like the tortoise, it doesn't matter how slow you go it just matters that you don't stop.

The End of Affirmation 365

I've been thinking about it for over a month. Usually, when I'm in it I'm engaged. But this time? I started it indifferent and I've felt indifferent all along. I should have never started. Hindsight is 20/20 they say and they aren't wrong. So when I opened my eyes this morning it was clear. It's time. Time to quit this 365. This is the first 365 that I haven't posted several of the days, the first 365 that I wasn't super excited about, the first 365 that I've quit. I've changed my social media presence and interactions the past year so this is also the first 365 that hardly anyone has been interested in. Is it the topic or my decision to not be as accessible on social media? Or is it some other reason altogether? Well, regardless...I'm throwing in the towel on this one. I can't say if I'll ever do another 365 again. Time will tell and I will know if and when it's time.
