Consistency seem to be a boring idea at first sight. It lacks glamour and excitement. but, when you loo more closely, consistency is anything but boring. It contains secret of achievement and success. It is the key to an almost magical power than can be transform lives.
Consistency means repeating the same behaviors regularly and without exceptions. Consistency behaviors is the opposite of erratic behavior.
Skipping workout is an example of erratic behavior. Performing all or most your workouts is an example of consistency.
Consistency Creates powerful habits; lack of consistency and exception mean that you have to start building the habits all over again.
Consistency allows the seeds to grow and the fruits to arrive. Regular, patient consistent action is necessary to achieve good results. even winning the lottery requires buying a ticket and entering the numbers.
A women who won the US $162 million lottery is quoted as saying, that she played the same numbers consistently for two years. she didn't play it once or twice and give up as so may people do.
She steadfastly believe that her dream of winning the lottery would be realized.
Consistency, then, may occasionally work even in the notoriously risky world of gambling.
Recently, i read an outstanding article by T.J Walker the public speaking and communication expert. He commented on how often communication break down on the internet because of lack of consistency.
Ezines, blogs and podcasts often only last for one or two issues and then they disappear. Either their creators ran out of materials or foolishly expected success after one or two efforts and gave up when the result of their efforts were disappointing.
Most marketing gurus insist that sales only come after about seven email messages have been sent to list of potential customers.
Many would be entrepreneurs lack the patient and consistency to send out even seven messages to their lists of potential customers.
Nearly any goal worth achieving demands regular and consistent efforts. If you want to achieve a black belt in a martial art, you need to show up to one training session after another whether you feel like it or not.
Daily efforts creates habits and habits make it easier to make those daily efforts but it still takes hard work and the determination to follow through every single day no matter what.
To achieve your goal repeat your effort every single day. Turn up in the gym or wherever you need to. Don't be like my step brother who was once told:"You turn up for your own funeral!"
Another way to avoid exception is to make a list of your most important daily behaviors in order of important. Stick it on your wall and read as soon as you get up. This way, your consistency will not falter because of poor memory.
Repeat the desired or planned behavior daily and with s few exceptions as possible ans you will make gradual but certain progress and eventually achieve your loftiest goals and dreams.
Even if you don't achieve all your goals and dreams, you will have at least become a great character and a person of value because you did what you planned to do on a daily basis. That, at least, is a goal worth achieving.
