When CONSISTENCY Gets Knocked Off

 

In our lives, most of us start from quite an even field BUT for the blessed, fortunate OR simply truly blessed [like being born with a silver spoon], they start off with an edge either in sheer intelligence, resource, circumstances OR plain sheer luck.  NOW, here's a giveaway question:  Did those WHO started off with an edge OR disadvantage, did they win the race OR the competitition hands down?  That's a tough call to make because much as the gifted and fortunate ones had that significant headstart, life is generally fair such that as we go through that competition in life, eventually, the laggards will rally and catch up towards the last quarter of the race.  The end result, it's anybody's ballgame📘📙📗

YES, WHATEVER we want to achieve in life, we WON'T become a master unless we demonstrate CONSISTENT behavior and keep training at that discipline.  Experts went through clinical studies and concluded that it takes roughly ten thousand hours of practice to achieve mastery in a field.  Oh Oh Oh, that requires some CONSISTENT behavior and discipline to show up each and everyday and practice.  That whole concept of CONSISTENCY has been coming up for me recently with regard my regular exercises, which a year ago, I managed to follow daily basis with CONSISTENCY.  BUT alas, these past months, I have to admit I'm struggling getting back into the groove of things💥💥💥

So, WHAT's my tough lesson here?  It's that, regardless of my schedules and commitments, I've got to further improve my own discipline in life so that I can regain and take the reins and control of my time all over again.  Because frankly, as I experienced, everytime I stopped my daily exercise, the more it became difficult to get started all over again.  CONSISTENCY helps put structure into our day in WHICH in turn actually makes us more productive and efficient.  YES, quite a tough pill to swallow here BUT simply put, I got to know WHAT I've got to do.  CONSISTENCY is particularly important WHEN we have pre-set milestone targets to be reached and achieved.  It's LIKE we only need about 30 minutes a day to focus on the activity we need to achieve BUT the catch here is that we need to ensure that we get engaged each and everyday for us to keep and retain that momentum.  Imagine a galloping horse WHERE the horseman pulls the strings until the horse loses its momentum???

To help us reinforce our CONSISTENCY, let's pick the brains of the experts here:

• Set REALISTIC GOALS - Initially, set goals that can be achieved easily so that will motivate you before you take the tough ones
• Break down your GOALS into smaller ones
• Create a schedule and STICK TO IT
• Reward yourself even for small milestones
• Be PATIENT BUT be PERSISTENT

Our takeaway:  WHAT else matters besides that CONSISTENCY?  Few foundational things we can rattle off.  HARDWORK [and CONSISTENCY will be knocking on your door often].  MOTIVATION and PASSION come hand-in-hand and they will join forces to be egging you for your CONSISTENCY.  Resilience will drive your CONSISTENCY in overdrive.  Of course, your TIME MANAGEMENT plays a major role in pushing your self-discpline to keep in check your CONSISTENCY as an auspicious start for 2026😁😁😁
