An attempt at return

I am convinced everything in my life should be labeled 'an attempt.' Here are a few examples:

• I am trying and often failing to be good - a good husband, employee, brother, friend, minister, etc.
• I started a blog yonks ago and I consistently forget it and return to it.
• So much is in fits, start-stop-forget-restart, do you remember the time I did interval training one day in a row? How about nightly devotions?

In speaking to and observing other people, most have a few things they do consistently. My wife is consistent with tardiness and brushing her teeth before bedtime. My brother is consistent at The Box. I have co-workers who are consistently early to come in, church members who are consistent in their seat location. The rest of our lives, however, is all an attempt at something we attain for a moment. It reminds me of learning to ride a bicycle. For most of us remember saying, "Look I am doing it, I am riding a...aaagh....oww!" 

It is not about seeming humble or self-deprecation. It is about accuracy in the relaying of ideas.
