EP 032 - Embracing Inconsistency

We all spend a lot of time trying to be consistent and trying to project a sense of consistency to other people. And we do that both because we think that inconsistency signals to others that we're unfocused or undisciplined, and also because inconsistency can make us feel uncertain. But in truth we need to embrace and make room for inconsistency in our life - because if we don't make room for inconsistency, we leave no room for growth. By definition, growth is a state of consistently being inconsistent. Growth means that you are a version of yourself that is inconsistent with a previous version of you. In this episode, we talk through why we cling to consistency, but also how we can start to embrace inconsistency and see it as the powerful mechanism for change that it is.
