The truth about Consistency!
“Success isn’t always about greatness. It’s about consistency. Consistent hard work leads to success. Greatness will come.”- Dwayne Johnson. The wrestler turned actor and other motivational influencers seem to have perfectly defined the key to success – Its consistency!
The sooner you get this, the better! Everything that we put our mind and heart to follow for a long time, requires the art of sustaining it through with strong consistency throughout. Many give up too soon or don’t really understand the importance of consistency. Here let me share with you the hard truth about consistency and what it’s all about.
1. Building up the momentum
You found a routine or a side-hustle and you are
all set to make it a part of your life in order to become prosperous, but then you
decide to slow down or give yourself rest. But why? Are you beating "Procrastination" like a Pro? As David Goggins said, “Don’t
stop when you’re tired. Stop when you’re done.”
Concentrating on any you do, and repeating it over
and over again will help you gain that momentum. And over a period of time,
guess what? You would have built a strong mindset around it that creates self-discipline thus helping you build that momentum step by step. Consistency is what
builds you to become what you need to be.
2. Focus on the Process, not the outcome!
We all just want things to get done, but only
very few give it their all for actually putting effort to make it work. To make
it work, apart from having a way/plan set forward, focusing on the procedure
and steps involved in order for you to get there eventually is what you must
think of. “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a
habit.” - Will Durant
Taking one thing at a time is all you need to
do. Once you stay focused on each step, the process seems lighter and success would
seem brighter. When you stick to your process, growth happens, which results in
consistent behavior towards your goals. And then you absolutely don’t need to
worry about the outcome, it will take care of itself eventually.
3. Develop & improve as you go!
Once your momentum and process are on a role,
things will start to get easier and adaptability to it would seem like a
necessity. Passion and interest are what drives the force within you to achieve
that consistency in life. You definitely would need to work and put effort into
your own growth. So
Developing over a series of events and tasks
that you do consistently makes you become more self-aware with resistance to any
failures you could come across and lets it highly contribute to your success
rate. It helps you become better at what you are doing, giving a push to achieve
higher and thus transforming you to become a better version of yourself as you
proceed.
4. Transforms average into excellence
Speaking of transforming, consistency is not
just about doing anything over and over again repeatedly, it creates
greatness! Transforming the average idea of doing something by not sticking to
it - into a form of excellence that now you seemed to have gained with continuous practice
and following a systematic method. (By focusing on the process)
We all desire that excellence within but are not ready to stay consistent, instead, we are ready with excuses. As William Arthur Ward once said, “It is wise to direct your anger towards problems – not people; to focus your energies on answers – not excuses.” You want to transform or strive for that excellence, the truth lies in maintaining consistency! It’s as simple as that!
5. Maintaining a long-term vision.
A person with a vision is a half-winner already! When you envision your success and work with all your power in crossing the stepping stones one by one, you will get there! Consistency is that fuel that keeps your vision running, even when you don’t want to. Don’t let go of what might just be the boost to your life’s engine! Consistency!
With a goal set in mind, a mission put to plan, and the will to succeed, will let you maintain a long-term vision. Doing anything temporary is achievable and easy, but if greatness is what you want, you need to have that long-term vision.
Losing it might slow you down, but knowing
you have a momentum that’s building up into something great through your
consistency level, then why think of stopping! Keep going!
Bonus points: What goes hand in hand?
We all know consistency is quite hard! But there
are factors that obviously go hand in hand and those are dedication, hard work, and discipline. Pillars & Techniques of Success With these, you can possible get anything done. 4 Powerful Ways to Stay Motivated. Don’t expect
things to just change all of a sudden with consistency, it’s about each & every
effort you put in. It will be all worth it, but the price you need to pay is the will to do it first.
Buddha had a perspective on this when he said, "A jug fills drop by drop." Probably a more common saying is, "One step at a time". However, you say it means the same. You will get there as you progressively move forward. Progress in anything is accomplished by steadfast forward movement. Hence
Overcome your huddles and become resistant to the unwanted activities that happen around you. Scarifies, constraints, failures, disappointments, one or everything might come your way but when you know what you need to focus on is steady progress and consistency, then just do that.
That’s the hard truth about consistency! With
ways to approach consistency with a positive mindset and the right perspective,
I hope you all manage to find your consistency at anything that you’re wishing
to achieve at some point in your life. Understand the truth about it and be
ready to Conquer the Challenge of Change!
