The Art of Persistence

The art of persistence.

This one seems to be a particularly hard one to master. At least for me.

As some of you may know, Chris and I have recruited his brother, Jon, into doing the paper route with us for the bribe of 100 bucks. While this is awesome because it reduces the ending time by about an hour or more, it also causes a slight inconsistency in my working out. When 3 people are doing the route, one person gets to drive, and only drive. This means that when I'm driving, I'm not getting any sort of physical workout at all. 

[btw, i refuse to get the freshman 15 next year. someone keep me acountable on that. thanks.]

Anyway, so when it comes to exercise, Jon doing it with us is kinda bad for me. But good overall. Thanks, Jon.

Persistency is also difficult with piano. Once I sit down and the piano, I can usually practice for a while. But I can't get myself to sit down. It's a hard thing to do. Especially with doing the paper route, and working 40 hours a week, it's incredibly easy to just make the excuse that I'm too tired or too stressed and just sit and watch TV or read or something. 

This is something that needs to be mastered by me. 

Just 3 more days of this route. FINALLY.

Life is an art. While some days are painted funny, it's what makes our lives into our individual paintings. We paint every day differently to make it ours. 

With that said, tomorrow is a new day, and a new piece of the painting.

Tomorrow, I learn the art of existing.

Yes, existing.
