BE CONSISTENT!

There! There’s the secret to success. Yes, it truly is that simple. I know that every success I’ve had, and have helped others have has come down to this one key action, consistency. Take a look around your successes, how consistent did your actions need to be for you to have reached the success you wanted. I’m going to venture and say that your consistent action eventually resulted in getting exactly what you wanted.

It wasn’t too long ago, on one of my consistent morning walks that I was reminded of this universal law by another of my mentors, James Ray. In that same walk I reflected on may of my successes and recognized that indeed consistent action towards my desired goals was the key ingredient to every success I’ve had.

In order to be consistent, I had to be committed to my desired goal. Thus, another way to look at consistency is as commitment. How committed are you to getting what you say that you want? Wait…don’t answer that just yet. Take these steps and find out.

1. What is one thing that you say that you want?
2. What consistent action are you taking daily towards this desired outcome?
3. Is what you are doing getting you closer to what you want? Or further from what you want?

Once you’ve answered the questions above you’ll have your irrefutable evidence on the level of commitment you have towards reaching this goal. If you are getting what you want, then this may just seem like commons sense. But if you are not getting what you want, I’d encourage you to reflect on the following questions and WRITE down your answers:

1. What is your desired outcome?
2. What consistent action are you wiling to take today (and each day) ?
3. What are some benchmarks that will help you measure your progress towards your goal?

I’ll end with the simple reminder that your level of success will be directly proportional with your level of consistency in taking action towards that goal.

A friend once shared a quote that I loved. “Success is getting up one more time than you fall down”. As long as you keep getting back up and moving forward, you can not fail. Keep going and may you create everything you want in your life.

If you find that you are having a tough time staying consistent, I’d encourage you to hire a coach or get with a mentor that can help you stay on track. Once you are consistently supported and implement this principle of consistency, you’ll be able to apply it to all other areas in your life.
