We don’t skip twice

When you’re trying to embody a regularly occurring habit, one rule to keep in mind is this: don’t skip twice.

That is, you can give yourself a break if you don’t do The Thing one day (or one week…or whatever the frequency is).

I mean, life’s a journey, and we all make mistakes, right?

But the next time. When you’ve got the last time tempting you with proof that the world didn’t, in fact, collapse when you skipped. That’s the critical moment.

That’s when you have to decide if you’re the person who does The Thing or not.

That’s when you see if you’re the person who perseveres—even when faced with the fact that no one can or will make you do it. (And that there are no significant short-term consequences to not doing it.)

It’s hard. It can be annoying.

But it’s the only way to become the person a wise version of you recognized as someone worth becoming.

We don’t skip twice.

Becoming together,
James
