Maybe consist consistency is a better way to put it. I find I have to really push myself every day to fall into the right patterns - whether it be managing a career, pushing forward life goals, or furthering personal relationships. It's easy to fall off the wagon, as it were, and then never go there again.And Ellie - whining about people by no means makes one a modern day philosopher :-) but thanks, though!

Starting it and doing it a few times is easy, but making the commitment to hit the gym regularly, or to change that diet permanently takes effort and some amount of courage. There are always going to be temptations, stress, and other difficulties that could cause focus to be lost, and little by little, the same old habits come back once again.Nothing wrong with American Idol by the way. Maybe American Idol and exercise is the right combination. :P I think sometimes its because persistence is the hard part.
