Why is consistency important in our lives?
Consistency (as defined in the dictionary) is steadfast adherence to the same principles, course, form, etc.
How is consistency linked to success? Of the numerous business owners who are mutli millionaires I had met, I asked them regarding what makes them successful in their career. There is NO SINGLE one who said that they were just lucky or happened to make it. All of them shared with me sincerely its HARD WORK that makes them who they are now! What’s really hard work? They explained Hard work is commitment to spend time on making an idea work no matter how tough things are going. They went on to explain on the part of consistent effort to make things happen. You do not need to have fantastic ideas, all you need to do is simple things consistently. Most of the ideas die along the way because of the lack of consistency to follow through till they bear fruits. All you need is ONE IDEA and consistent effort to grow that idea!
I shared regularly to students the importance of being consistent. One story I like to share with them is the power of consistency in table tennis. I told them in china, when they learn table tennis and they failed to make a stroke well enough. All they did was to play the stroke again, if it failed, they just did it again and again to just get the right stroke. It may be a thousand times yet it was this simple consistent practice that makes champions! That’s the beauty of Eastern Value!
In the West, we might be talking about the technique and the skills one should possess yet in the East, we talked about discipline and consistency. How about fusing both of them? Won’t that be something powerful for you and me!
Practise the Power of Consistency! Simple actions, Great results!
