Want to succeed at any goal?
Then master the little things.
Little things are easily doable.
Easily doable = regular action.
Organized regular = consistency.
Consistency means lots of it.
Many streams form a river.
Rivers smash.
Overnight success.
“Overnight.”
Never confuse education with schooling.
Get 1% better every day.
Sometimes, feeling like you’re getting nowhere IS the indicator you’re getting better.
Climb Mt Everest one step at a time,
eat an elephant one bite at a time,
grow your IG one follower at a time,
get the black belt one day at a time,
read the Bible one page at a time.
A thread to my previous self:
The difference between someone who fails and someone who succeeds:
The failed guy did it 2x.
The successful guy did it 100x.
So, assuming you know your path is the right one, stay consistent, continue walking the path without turning to the left or to the right, and it’ll only be a matter of time until you succeed.
It’s not intensity that wins. It’s consistency that wins.
Consistency trumps intensity every time.
Consistency is small and unassuming.
But adds and builds momentum.
Until one day, the momentum is greater than the greatest output intensity can conjure.
I fear the guy who never stops.
Never stops showing up.
Never stops taking another step forward.
Never stops flipping another page.
Never stops praying.
Never stops trying.
Never stops punching.
Never stops attacking the barrier.
@dextns Everything’s impossible until it’s done. Impossible is just code for “hasn’t been done yet.”
So go out, do it, do it again when you fail, then do it again until it succeeds!
We all possess the choice:
To suffer the discomfort of discipline now, or the pain of indiscipline later.
Both are sufferings;
only, one is good, the other is bad.
It’s a choice.
And the choice is yours.
All good things take time.
And if they come instantly, are usually a result of another thing that took time to grow.
The fastest way is fast accepting that it is slow.
Our expectations of what it really takes to create lasting success— things like grit, hard work, and fortitude—aren’t alluring, and thus have been mostly forgotten.

We’ve lost respect for the strife and struggle of our forefathers. The massive effort they put forth instilled discipline, chiseled their character, and stoked the spirit to brave new frontiers.
