The Importance of Consistency

That pretty much says it right there. There is an old saying that goes something awfully similar to, “practice makes perfect.” I have no idea who said it, but it makes pretty darn good sense in my opinion. Now, I don’t personally believe that perfection can be attained, but surely agree that the more you practice, the better you are bound to get. Thus, the importance of consistency.
Let’s say you were a long distance runner. For your first race, you have to run five kilometers and you train every day running at least two miles up an down hills. Then, a few weeks pass and the race is the next day. You still go out and run those two miles, you don’t take a rest day, you keep your body in tune with the pace assuring that you’ll at least keep up with the pack.
Now, your body was in such good condition, you actually won the race! So, on the confidence in your ability, you enter next months 5k that is at the same park. However, this time, you gloat on yourself a little, you know you’re great, so you only train every other day and take two days off before the race to make sure your muscles are good and rested. The day comes and you take off like a rabbit, flying past everyone and taking the lead. About half way through, you notice people are starting to catch up, and try as you might to keep your original pace, you don’t have the gusto to keep it up. You’re winded. You fall into the middle of the crowd and get lost in the average joes.

Excellence is a habit. Practice makes perfect. Consistency truly is one of the keys to success. Just do it. (which is not Nike by the way, but Socrates). All of this, most of you have heard before. Let it serve as a reminder. For those that had no idea, I do hope this is helpful! As for myself…maintaining consistency is a must. Making it a priority has become a tattoo on the mental map for success in my mind. May your journey be as well-advised and fruitful friends.
