But I’m still filled with beige lantern’s spite so like. Is it because of the movie. Is the 2011 movie why there’s no Carol Ferris or bright green suit or literally any aliens or space stuff at all. Is that why even though the lesson from Superman is “people sure do like color to exist in their comic book movies, and also fun character designs, and interesting women and well written romantic relationships with care but also disagreements” there’s a big asterisk that says “unless it’s green lantern”

Why is consistency important?
Everything you want in life lives on the other side of consistency. Not motivation. Not inspiration. Not the perfect plan. Progress is built by showing up, doing the work, and continuing even when it feels uncomfortable or slow.
Consistency is the final and most misunderstood piece of lasting change. Awareness gives you clarity. Accountability keeps you honest. Responsibility returns your power. Together they help you see your potential instead of just talking about it. From there you learn how your thoughts create emotions, how emotions drive actions, and how actions shape results. You commit to change. You focus your energy in the direction you want your life to move.
But none of that matters without consistency.
Consistency is not intensity. It is not forcing yourself to be perfect. It is choosing to keep moving forward even when progress feels small. It is taking the next step even when confidence is low. It is resting when needed without quitting. It is returning to the process instead of abandoning it.
This is how real change happens. One decision at a time. One action at a time. One day at a time.
You do not need to overhaul your entire life today. You need to stay engaged. Stay present. Stay willing. Every time you repeat the right behaviors you reinforce a new identity. Over time that identity becomes natural. What once felt difficult becomes familiar. What felt impossible becomes routine.
Consistency is how effort turns into alignment. It is how intention becomes reality. If you want to live up to your true potential start today by doing the next right thing and commit to doing it again tomorrow.

Abide to Endure - Matthew 7:24-27
Abiding in the word of Jesus means not only hearing it and knowing, but also putting into practice the things that he has said. We must be like the wise building, who built his house on the rock, hearing and doing Jesus’ words.

Large and Small, Done and Undone
Chapter 63 of and 64 of the Tao Te Ching contain thoughts on size, doing, and handling issues in life. I’ve been thinking these over in my readings and want to share my insights. I will not be reprinting the chapters but you can find them elsewhere.
Chapter 63 emphasizes acting without acting, seeing the small as the large, and how regarding things as difficult early ensures success.
Chapter 64 further continues on how taking action early can head off troubles or bring things to completion. It also warns that acting and holding onto can ruin things, something the sage has no trouble with.
I was thinking these over as I’m big on taking care of things early, of thinking about the small picture, and on proper precision. In fact with those things you can often not need to act as you see what you need and what you don’t. Leaping immediately to the big picture or waiting too long can distort your view and let problems get out of hand.
(Remember, I’m a Project Manager)
So let me formulate a way to think about this. This is for myself as much as you, my reader, so I hope you may have insights to share.
A wise person, a sage, recognizes that small things grow into large things, both good and bad. By recognizing the seeds of good and bad it’s little effort to cultivate one and cut off the others. In fact it may be no effort at all - literally sometimes you just stop doing something before it gets worse.
Avoiding one thing means solving problems before acting. A small action on another can have great benefits.
By taking this ability for things to grow and change from their seeds, a wise person is able to ensure great things and avoid great troubles with little action. I’m sure you can think of small choices that had huge effects (in fact this post is an example of one).
A sage person, also knows that the start of things does not always mean the end works out. By accepting difficulty, by not assuming, they keep a wary eye out. A few choices or simple actions can steer something away from disaster or avoid spoiling it. In fact, the sage person may allow something to complete by not messing with it, thus grasping at the end and ensuring failure.
This also means a sage person doesn’t try big enormous things, no grand crusades or big shows. Something that is already large is hard to handle and to seize it is to risk disaster, for that large project or large effort will doubtlessly bring many unexpected effects. Things are best tackled when small, or I’d add tackled in small parts, with large efforts cultivated at best or viewed cautiously at worst.
If a big thing is made of many small, well-done choices, how much more solid will it be?
Thinking on this has helped me understand these passages and Taoist “doing by not doing.” So many small, everyday, tiny things can, to a sage person, change the world - if that’s even needed. So much grows from one small effort, and so much bad can be avoided by not doing something or stopping a problem before it is one.
