It’s not what we do once in a while that shapes our lives. It’s what we do consistently.
Anthony Robbins
Sometime we are forced to choose between working hard and being consistent. There is no option but to work hard. But what is even more important is consistency. I have come across people who start to learn something new such as a new language or dance etc. Initially they are so enthusiastic that they work very hard and spend all their time in learning the new thing. But over a period of time their initial enthusiasm fades away and they give up.
This is especially true when you attempt to do something difficult and away from your comfort zone such as workouts in a gym. You are so enthusiastic to burn your extra fat that you work out long hours, straining every muscle. But the next day you feel so painful that you avoid the gym!
Your mind is like a small child and it is threatened by big things. You have to befriend your mind by doing easy things in small doses so that you do such things consistently.
May be it is a good idea to list down five things which you started doing but gave up checking if the above is true with you!
Be slow and steady, you will definitely win the race!
