Shai Gilgeous-Alexander on consistency being a muscle you can grow, what discipline is, and why you can't only have it in times of prosperity:
💪 Consistency isn’t a trait you’re born with, it’s a muscle you build. Every time you follow through when it’s inconvenient, you add another rep. The strength doesn't show up until at some point in the future, but it’s earned in the now.
😁 Anyone can be consistent in times of prosperity. The real separator is doing the work when motivation disappears. That’s where identity is truly formed, you find out who you are, not in the spotlight, but in the resistance.
📌 Discipline is doing what matters most when you least feel like acting on it. If you only rely on consistency in good times, it becomes a crutch. If you train it in hard times, it becomes a competitive advantage.
Champions aren’t determined by flashes of greatness, but by how RARELY they drift below their standard of success.
They don’t use the consistency muscle in a reactionary way, instead they train it daily so the habit of success has somewhere to live. 🏠
I have a question for all celebrities?
When you say you #standwithisreal
Are you saying ? You don’t stand with Palestine 🇵🇸 .. what does that mean for your Palestinian fans and their families ?
When you say you condemn the killing of innocents do you mean on both sides ?
Are you against those who say #freepalestine or do you urge peace through justice to come to a resolution.
When moments like this come it always makes me curious .. because hashtags get spread but never explanation and clarity.
Humans live are politicized and destroyed and it really reveals the dark side of humanity.
The collective push should be forcing the justice to prevail. The question is what does justice look like in this situation ? That’s the only thing to fight for .
