Consistency is key to success from "summary" of Discipline Equals Freedom by Jocko Willink
Success is not achieved through sporadic bursts of effort. It is not attained by occasional flashes of brilliance followed by long stretches of inactivity. Success comes to those who are consistent in their actions, who show up day in and day out, who put in the work even when they don't feel like it. Consistency is the foundation upon which all achievements are built. It is the daily discipline of showing up and doing the work, no matter what obstacles stand in your way. Consistency is about making a commitment to yourself and honoring that commitment each and every day. It is about setting a goal and then taking small, incremental steps towards that goal, day after day, week after week, month after month. Success is not a destination that you reach in one giant leap. It is a journey that is made up of countless small steps taken consistently over time. It is about making the choice to do what needs to be done, even when it is hard, even when you don't feel like it. It is about developing the habit of showing up, of putting in the work, of pushing through the pain and the fatigue and the doubt. Consistency is what separates the successful from the unsuccessful, the achievers from the dreamers. It is the willingness to do what needs to be done, even when it is not easy or glamorous or fun. It is the ability to stay focused on your goal, even when distractions and temptations abound. It is the determination to keep going, even when you feel like giving up.- Success is not about talent or luck or circumstance. It is about hard work and dedication and perseverance. It is about being willing to do what others are not, to make sacrifices that others will not, to push yourself to your limits and beyond. It is about being consistent in your actions, in your efforts, in your commitment to yourself and your goals. And it is this consistency that will ultimately lead you to success.
