A provocative title! I would have thought dedication is the key to consistency, but yes, I see that now—flexibility is needed cuz circumstances can shift! Thank you!
the quote by Frank Herbert reminds me of a quote from The Surrender Experiment by Michael Singer:
"Life rarely unfolds exactly as we want it to. And if we stop and think about it, that makes perfect sense. The scope of life is universal, and the fact that we are not actually in control of life’s events should be self-evident. The universe has been around for 13.8 billion years, and the processes that determine the flow of life around us did not begin when we were born, nor will they end when we die."
This comes at a good time for me as I need to write this week's newsletter from a dead start today before tomorrow. "But if you want to be consistent about anything in life, it’s also important to be flexible." This is a very simple idea but quite a profound truth when it comes to practical progress and growth. It's easy to forget that it's all made up, we're the authors of this journey, and we can bend the rules creatively on the path to success. Thanks for the postcard.
Yes, being flexible provides us with the necessary grace to get things done even when all the circumstances aren't right (hint: they hardly ever are :D). By the way, curious about that Japanese cushion. I've been sleeping on the floor the last few months as a way to improve posture. I usually throw down a couple of yoga mats and a spare comforter as a mattress but I've seen these Japanese pillows before. Might be time for an upgrade!

I wasn’t aware of either of those styles of meditation cushion. Interesting, and looks comfortable.
