Santa and consistency

12.19 Dancing santa

Santa is nothing if not consistent. It might be only one night a year, but man, those nights add up.

With all the craziness with Christmas, I’m finding it hard to put together anything more coherent than this connection between Will Durant and Santa:

“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then, is not an act, but a habit.”

Will Durant

Will Durant is a famous historian/author who, along with his wife, authored an entire history of civilization, along with a much shorter version that I read called Fallen Leaves (which is great).

Anyway, I was thinking about that after reading this quote, and, separately, I was also continuing to tick my boxes for my drawing challenge (consistency!), and I suddenly thought that the two go together.

This little thought of practicing something each day is something that I learned early on but always underestimate.
