Sunday Story…Commit

To consistency.

If there was one trait, one thing that would guarantee your success it may be consistency.
Show up when you say you are going to show, do what you are supposed to do, and do it the way you are supposed to do it. Every. Damn. Time.
In the dictionary next to the definition of the word “consistency” is your picture, right? No? That isn’t your picture? Hmmm. Why not?

Here’s the deal…if I commit to being consistent, if consistent is who I am being, all the things in my life get easier. Want to lose weight? Eat the right food consistently. Want to get more fit? Show up and exercise consistently. Want to learn a new language? Read a book? Be more knowledgeable about just about anything? Work at it consistently.

Whatever your consistency is on any given subject or problem that is your commitment. You will show up and work out 3 times a week. You will study 1 hour a day. Every day. You are honest with yourself and hold yourself to the same standard of integrity you expect of everyone else. And integrity is doing what you say you are going to do when you say you are going to do it. And that includes the promises and commitments you make to yourself. Especially those.

Commit to consistency. It will change your life.
