Consistency
Description
"Without commitment, you'll never start. Without consistency, you'll never finish."
Starting is so very important to accomplishing any task. Without the first step there is no final one.
The first step can be terrifying, but it is not without its rewards. The first step always leads to many more. What is just as important, if not more important, is consistency.
I’ve found myself hyped up on motivation only to find myself fall short because of a lack of consistency.
Consistency isn’t a “rah rah” hype event. Consistency is boring. That’s why most don’t have it. Consistency is shooting before practice and after practice. Consistency is getting up at the same time everyday. Consistency is going to sleep at the same time every day. Consistency is making art everyday even when you don’t think it’s good or you don’t feel like it. Consistency is what you see in the movie montage, but it takes longer than the thirty seconds you see.
Consistency is boring, but it always leads to the “rah rah” moments.
However, if you love what you do and are passionate about making dope things, consistency is more exciting than the “rah rah” moments.
