Let’s discuss why being consistent will get you much farther than success! Who here has never failed in life? If you said yes, you can stop reading and move on with your boring day… Now that all the failures are still reading we can get down to business.
How did you overcome your past failures? Did you consistently work to improve and achieve more or did you just focus on being successful? Reality is the only way to eventually be successful is to be consistent first. There are 7 games in the World Series and NBA Championship for a reason, the most consistent team wins even if they aren’t considered the most “successful”!
I have always loved the Michael Jordan quote “I’ve missed 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed”.
Each day is your shot to build a rewarding and healthy life and the more shots you take seriously the more wins you will have. In my 33 years that means I have had 12,045 shots. By consistently applying maximum effort and maintaining an unwavering positive attitude success has become my reality. Below are a few tips to help you make it yours!
1. Just keep seeing the good and potential in all situations.
This is a personal reminder as much as it is a social reminder. You are going to get down on yourself and frustrated with your situation from time to time, but it is crucial to see past this and look for the positive potential hidden within. No matter how difficult and challenging a situation may be there will always be something to learn and use in the future if you are looking for it. Keep this mindset and you will always have a fighting chance.
Expert Tip: Remember you control your attitude and your reactions to hardships!
2. Trust the Process
Everything that is transformative, and groundbreaking takes a lot of effort and preparation ahead of the actual breakthrough. This is what consistency is all about. If you always back out instead of pushing forward you will never achieve anything in life much less ever consider yourself successful. Great experience and knowledge of a specific process or subject is where you can find these gems that have often been over looked, overcomplicated, or never discovered.
Expert Tip: Each step closer should be a celebrated act of consistency!
3. Have A Childlike Curiosity
There are a few mesmerizing humans who manage to remain consistently obsessed with a single task and produce amazing results. One trait that they often display is the love of learning, discovering and fixing problems. Their enthusiasm rivals that of a child with a new interactive puzzle. They just sit for hours and stare and tinker until they figure out the only way the pieces could fit to solve the puzzle. This may be one of the greatest assets you could have if you are aiming to create a service or a product that will actually fix issues our society is dealing with.
Discovery Question: What could you learn about all day without getting bored or wanting to quit?
4. Share Dreams
You never know when someone standing right next to you is holding a piece of the puzzle you have been searching for the entire time. Sharing your ideas is the only way to pull this puzzle piece out of them. You need to realize that 2, 3, or 4 consistent minds are stronger than 1. At times you are going to get tired and burnt out, so it is important to have help if you want long term success. It is hard to stay consistent by yourself over a long period of time.
Discovery Question: Who amongst your circle has traits that you lack or you could benefit from?
5. Tunnel Vision
It’s easy in our digital age to listen to the naysayers and doubters around you. It’s also easy to look at other’s “success” and think I will never achieve that, but you have to stay consistently dedicated to your mission. All of the most “successful” people consistently only worry about their mission and how they are going to achieve it. Your belief in you is what ultimately will make others believe in you as well!
Expert Tip: Turn off the social media and news!
Now that you know 5 traits to help you remain consistent and to get ahead, you can make your Facebook video teaching everyone how to be successful and make millions with your rented Ferrari and $2,000 dollar Versace wallet! Just kidding, but you can remain consistently dedicated to achieving anything you set your sites on!
