FRIDAY THOUGHTS #3: CONSISTENCY
The power of "consistency".
I had an epiphany last night - I mean, I already knew it...but I just knew it more. It hit me that one of the main reasons why people never realize their dream or purpose in life comes down to them not doing the things they know they should be doing...when it becomes inconvenient. They lack the sheer will, the ability to not give up and stop because it's taking too long...because it's too hard, the'yre too tired and simply unable to muster enough faith to get to the finish line. In other words - they do not become a success and give the world who they really are because they stop being...consistent.
It's a small word...but means so much. Everyone is excited in the beginning - that's why New Year's resolutions are so popular. It's easy to be motivated when you "feel" like it - when you first get the idea to start your business, go to the gym, change careers, learn how to date, etc. It's very easy in the beginning...everyone can be motivated for a couple of weeks and the sun is shining...but give it a few months, heck...a few years. Maybe a decade - how is the motivation now? Are you still going strong...and staying consistent?
That's the difference maker. Is the reason 'why' you're doing what you're doing big enough, that you are willing to die in the storm - you wont btw...but your mindset is so steadfast that nothing will stop you. Some may call you...obsessed. Good. Because you need to be. This race is not for the light-hearted and uncommitted. It's for the people that "burn the boats" and give everything and will settle for nothing less. If you can weather the storm...take comfort in the storm, stay consistent and keep doing the work even when you don't see any results - you eventually will reach your destination and help many others do the same. It is your purpose.
Until next time. Be well champions...and stay consistent. 👊🏾
