On not being steadfast (istiqamah)

Bismillah.

My apologies to all for not being steadfast in posting 6 Names (Asmaul Husna) a day. One of my guides has instructed us to memorize 6 Names a day. So I started but stopped after the 6th day. BUT I have been traveling, sick and preoccupied with my day-job...(dare I give excuses!) Woe unto me!

The Prophet s.a.w said:
"Be steadfast although you will never be able to be so completely."
Our beloved messenger has also said a verse in Surah Hud has made his hair turn white! He was referring to a command by Allah to be steadfast: "So be steadfast (istiqamah) as you have been commanded."
