Consistency doesn’t have to be perfect; rather, it’s an accumulation of what we do over time. As British novelist and thinker C. S. Lewis supposedly once observed, “Isn’t it funny how day by day nothing changes, but when you look back everything is different?” Balance is similar. We might feel that we wobble from day to day, but if we take a longer view, we can find that we have been balancing the various parts of our lives all along.
