True Consistency Expects Change to Come

True Consistency Expects Change To Come

Written by Jeremiah Valentine

I am most productive when I have a routine. I strive to accomplish three daily activities: writing, working out and reading. Everything else is circumstantial. These activities are attainable and contribute to my overall happiness and success. People have different goals for their days, and sometimes the goal is to survive the day. I respect it. As I become more active online, I wonder what it takes to become more successful. More readers, promotion, comments on other's articles? Or is it enough to post six times a week on trending topics? I don't care about trends. Keto diets, becoming gluten-free, and following TikTok recipes are all trends. I could care less. Write now I am in school getting my degree, I quit social media, and I like spending time with my dog, friends, and family.

No matter what happens in my life, I must find space for working out, reading, and writing. Unfortunately, consistency beats talent more often than not. And I aim for that advantage. Fortunately, it isn't out of reach for anyone. And as you commit to something, you have to change to make room in your life for it. I was taught how to draw by a fellow sailor when stationed in Chicago. He was a graphic designer before he enlisted. He taught me that if you didn't draw every day that your brain would forget how to do it, and you would tend to hate yourself because of it. Still, since you stop practicing, it takes you longer to finish something great. The practice of drawing requires time from video gaming, working out, and hanging out with friends. As I allow more time in my day, I also lose out on other things. I genuinely wish there was more time to do several things; however, there needs to be prioritization and consistency. As changes occur and priorities shift, you can expect a snowball effect of success when more consistency is applied. Kobe Bryant used to work out four times a day, including practice; still considered one of the best of all time. Not everyone can become Kobe Bryant, but isn't life about the pursuit of perfection and striving to become someone great? Anyone can have fun, but not everyone can change the world. Consistency is the currency used to build success in ultimately anything.
