Consistency

in story •  6 years ago 

I have a hard time being consistent. You could probably tell by my last post.

I was talking to a friend of mine about making videos for marketing purposes. The way the conversation ended was him saying, "You just start doing something, and you stick with it. I like immediate results, so I'll do something and not get them, and I'll feel like I'm doing something wrong. Then I'll start doing something else. The key is to be consistent."

I love that. It is super difficult to start something, and just keep plowing forward blindly, especially if is something that you don't enjoy doing (like going to work).

There have been a couple of moments in my recent experiences that have shown me about consistency, and how it is useful to just keep plowing forward.

Fast reward feels good, but long-term successes are awesome.

Best,

Eddie
