The "C word"

Before I start today's post I would like to just take a moment for my Grandmother who passed away today, may her soul rest in peace.

We have care for those who enjoy catering to the needs of others.Cooperation those who love to work in teams. Compassion for those who ca relate and put themselves in someones shoes. Career for the hard workers and goal oriented among us. The list goes on and on and on, but the 'C word' that I think is the most important in terms of connecting this large world that we occupy is CONSISTENCY. Let me explain.....

So start with one particular individual. All he/she has in terms of connections from the time of birth is their family. I mean your family could be enormous but the numbers that belong to any given family in particular are minute. The way in which an individual can get more connected to the world is through friends. If an individual has a family, and friends ad every family member and friend has friends who has friends....you get my drift. It's kind of the idea behind like a facebook or myspace ( I actually had and I think i still have a myspace, if I can remember password) except I'm talking of real life. An argument can be made for the populations who inhabit secluded parts of the world... the reason we know about them is because at least one individual has been there and back and made a connection. SO in a complex manner but with a simple example, we are connected to the entire world through friends.

This being stated, what in the world does CONSISTENCY have to do with it? Well think about people we consider our friends, how often do they change in their character? How often are we left in awe by their behavior? Not very often. To me the definition of a friend should be a consistent individual. I know maybe people change here and there as they mature and go through stages of their lives but they have those things that makes them stand out, that make us proud to say "that's my friend". And If you do not feel that way about a person then, they are not your friend.....directly. Their consistency of their inconsistency is probably admired by another individual who is somehow connected to you through another friend.

I know this sounds crazy!! but its my brain talking, deal with it. Seriously though I encourage comments, disagreements or if you think I posed this argument all wrong let me know!

To practice my consistency I will select an activity that I will do consistently for an entire week. The said activity for each week will be intended to make me better as an individual, so cannot wait to begin/blog about them.
