Without patterns of thought and behavior that keep us consistent, we are less than we would be. This is the substance of low points, depression and stagnation in life. There is no plan, therefore no consistency of action. Consistency of action has more bearing on your goals than any skills you might have or develop. Where and what I will always be.
Depression is a combination of negative thought with a lack of action.
Working With Others As hard as we work to obtain personal growth and goals, we must realize that it is not just up to us. Our environment contributes to all that we attempt in our lives. You have probably heard this before, but it bears repeating. Don't say you want all this achievement and growth and stuff and then refuse to pay attention to who you are with and where you choose to be. Environments also contain inhibiting factors to your personal growth and goals.
