The Importance of Consistency!

[Aassem]

Little and consistent is better than a lot and random.

This is a translated famous Arabic saying that motivates consistency. I believe you can't make even the slightest change in your life without consistency, the key to achieving consistency is discipline as I have explained in a previous post.

Try it! Make a decision to do something new and beneficial everyday, something little that you can be consistent with, avoid the mistake we all do when we wanna change something, we always want to change it quickly, which makes it easier to lose control and give up. Change takes time, cause as adaptable we are, it's also difficult to change on our own, once we get used to something, it becomes familiar and comfortable, which leads to some kind of attachment to it. That's why change is difficult, but with consistency it's much easier. For example when I was a teenager I was a little slim, I always wanted to have wide shoulders and look fit, so I decided I'd do just 20 push ups everyday as a start, I kept increasing the number as days went by, but I made it a priority to do more than 20 every day, after about two months, I started noticing a change in my chest and shoulders area, I was definitely more fit, and I could do up to 50 in one set, I felt great because it really wasn't hard at all, and from that time I realized how necessary consistency is to change. Discipline and consistency have made me achieve more than just getting more fit, maybe later I will tell the story of my engagement and how I made it happen.

So what are you planning to be consistent about?

I'm consistent in trying to be as good as I can be. Stoicism helps.
