BE BETTER TODAY

It's a cool evening at Ken's place. I went to greet him after many months of not hearing from him. As I approached his house, I noticed a young man sitting outside on a plastic chair, with his hands on his head. I drew closer to him to have a better view of his identity. ————————————————————— Me: Ken is that you?🤨 (No response) Me: Kennedy!

A consistent person is someone who always behaves in the same manner, has the same attitudes towards people or things, or achieves the same level of success in something. We actually find it very frustrating to know that we are not getting the outcome we desire from a particular action because we find it difficult to be consistent in doing that one thing that will help us achieve our desire.
