Shorts | Consistency Won’t Make You Successful—Here’s What Will!
Description
Is consistency really the key to success?
In this Shorts episode of Living the Tao (2-21), Taoist Master Mikel Steenrod examines one of the most common ideas in modern self-improvement—and challenges it from a Taoist perspective.
Through a discussion on repetition, flexibility, and human behavior, this episode explores:
- The limits of discipline when it becomes mechanical
- The importance of adaptability in achieving meaningful outcomes
- The philosophical contrast between structure and responsiveness
- And the deeper question of what success actually means
Blending practical insight with classical Taoist thought, this episode offers a different way of looking at progress, effort, and purpose.
