“It’s not what we do once in a while the shapes our lives. It’s what we do consistently”

A person started boiling the rice. Every 5 minutes, he stopped the fire for 5 minutes. He started again, after 5 minutes, he stopped again. This process continued for 90 minutes to cook the rice. Usually, it just took 20 minutes. Now, more than 400% of real effort.

Rice didn't cook well. This single story hit my head hard every time when I feel difficult and give up.

Compound interest is the eighth wonder in the world. — Warren Buffet.

As I was just 112 pounds. With workout and diet, I gained 17 pounds in 8 months. I was stuck there for three weeks. When I checked my weight, I was frustrated. One day, I couldn't sleep for hours. I was thinking about why.

I found that

No consistent proper diet. I ate for two days. I was overwhelmed with work or another scrap. I forget the Diet.

I’m embarrassed to be like this.

Why “Consistent” to achieve great things

It takes more effort than we think to achieve great things. More time, more conscious practice, more sleepless nights and many more.

According to research, people usually dream to finish their task in less time. But, it’s not possible most of the times. Even, if we give our 100% efforts, the time to get results takes time.

In the words of Grant Cardone, the author of The 10X Rule:

“Extremely successful people know that their efforts must continue in order for them to realize new achievements. Once the hunt for a desired object or goal is abandoned, the cycle of success comes to an end.”

We must wait with consistent practice to see results continuously. Like consistent fire under rice make the food great.

How to be “Consistent” in hard times

“The wise man doesn’t give the right answers, he poses the right questions.” — — Claude Levi-Strauss

Most people struggle to be consistent. It’s really hard to be consistent. Without consistent, no great results can ever see.

I learned from one of my mentors

“Find something more pleasure for doing it than the pleasure of not doing it.”

For instance, to lose weight, enjoy workouts, less calorie food, more cardio. To start a business, enjoy visualizing the outcome in your mind, taking small baby steps.

To become a speaker, enjoy the art of speaking word by word, never miss any small opportunity of talking, create good emotions with it, see the small results. It motivates to do more for big results. This process continues until your vision comes into reality.

In hard times, Ask yourself:

  1. Why I have started this? (Why I started bodybuilding: To become healthy, vibrant and handsome)
  2. What will be the outcome if I continue this? (I can be successful and in the top 1% in the world)
  3. What is the biggest regret if I didn’t achieve this? (I will be unhealthy, fat and ugly uncle!!!)

Commit first, figure it our later

Most people think about how than why.

This mindset creates a lot of obstacles which seems difficult to solve later. Just change your mind, pull the trigger to commit first then figure it out later.

First, I committed to being financially free, then I decided to become an online Entrepreneur.

First, you commit to becoming shredded then you work out, eating clean, even I don’t like the practice. you must commit for results.

Have a clear vision, make present work for it

Robert Assagioli, The Act of Will’s author put the vision in a better way.

The chief characteristic of the volitional act is the existence of a purpose to be achieved; the clear vision of an aim.

Most people are technical driven, Machiel E. Gerber, The E-Myth Revisited author describes that people just work to satisfy themselves. People dream success, start a week and worry about not getting results. They work in present, hopes for the bright future which never come.

Instead, build your vision in your mind and environment, then make today count for it.

Take time to build your vision to be as clear as possible.

Visualize it every day before and after sleep.

This single habit helps you in hard times and you can cross the “consistence” sea with less effort.

Conclusion:

A few people can show you, achieve success in 7 days with their products and coaching programs. If you want to be fulfilling long-lasting success, you must pass the Consistent test. In order to achieve great things, DO GREAT WORK.
