Never Underestimate The Power Of Consistency
The power of consistency can not, in any way, be overstated. Through the act of being consistent in our actions, we are able to transform our lives with great ease, while moving towards our dreams and, when we have fulfilled those dreams, towards even greater modes of living and being.
Many of us embrace consistency as a truth, and remain consistent in our beliefs, habits, and assumptions. Many of us understand the power of being consistent and engaging in habits that allow for growth, development, fulfillment, and greater living.
Many of us, though, are consistent in ways that only serve to create blockages, difficulties, and unnecessary challenges. Many of us are consistent in ways that lead to misused time, a lack of fulfillment, a sense of stagnation and imprisonment, and circumstances that are far less than ideal.
Within each and everyone of us, there is an infinite well of extraordinary creative power. We all have the ability to make use of this latent creative power, and to sculpt, shape, and mould it into whatever we desire. Each and everyone of us has the ability to live the life that we truly desire to live, and to express our own beauty and greatness in the best of ways.
The reason why so few of us do — and I am not saying that I am one of the few who is doing this, for I am still learning, still practicing, and still moving towards that point — is because we are consistent in the habits and behaviors that negate the extraordinary powers within ourselves, while being inconsistent in habits and behaviors that allow this extraordinary power to come forth in the most beautiful of ways.
To change our lives, to allow our greatness and beauty to come forth, and to live a truly great life, we must commit to a greater way of living. Through this commitment, we are then able to harness one of our greatest abilities — that of creating new habits — allowing ourselves to be consistent in ways that naturally lead to greatness in every single facet of our life.
The Act Of Being Consistent In Ways That Allow For Greatness
To be consistent in ways that allow for greatness, we must make a commitment to greatness. Through the act of making a commitment to greatness, we can then adopt habits and behaviors that serve as channels for our own creative power and inherent greatness to come forth. By being consistent with those habits and behaviors, we allow the greatness within ourselves to come forth in the most beautiful manner possible.
The trick, though, is to adopt the right habits and behaviors. You can only do so much with the wrong ones.
Each and everyone of us possesses the ability to create habits. This is one of our most extraordinary abilities, for our habits shape the very fabric of our lives. Because of this, we must use this ability wisely, and be very careful when it comes to the habits that we create for ourselves.
The act of creating new habits is aligned with the act of consistency, for habits and consistency are, essentially, one in the same.
To give you an example of this, if you adopt a habit of exercising daily, then you will exercise every single day, with consistency, due to having created that habit. Even if you do not want to exercise, it is very likely that you will, because our consciousness is predisposed to accepting and going along with the habits that we have created. Even if we know, on some level, that our habits are unhealthy and lacking in value, we may still engage with them, for doing so feels comfortable and secure.
The most effective way to break away from bad habits is to focus on the good habits that we would like to be consistent with. The most effective way to focus on these good habits and to be consistent is to make a commitment. The most effective commitment we can make is a commitment towards our own greatness and, in turn, a greater way of living.
The question then becomes, of course, what are the habits and behaviors that allow for our own greatness to come forth?
While I certainly cannot tell you what habits you should adopt, or how you should go about adopting those habits, I can tell you what habits have worked for both myself, and that of many very successful and accomplished people who I, more often than not, took the habits from.
By engaging with the habits that I am about to share on a consistent basis, I guarantee that you will give birth to desirable changes and transformations within every single facet of your life. It may take some time, and you may not notice it at first, but I guarantee you that these habits work in ways that will astonish you.
Powerful Habits That Allow For Your Greatness To Come Forth
You will find that there are an infinite number of extraordinary habits that you can take on. Because of this, the habits that I am about to describe are but a scratch across the infinite surface of wonderful and transformative habits that you have the ability to create and express. If none of these habits resonate with you, or if you’re already using them, then please explore, experiment, and create others!
Exercise Every Single Day
Everyone knows that daily exercise is a fantastic habit. But, the importance of daily exercise really cannot be understated. Daily exercise not only ensures that your body is working well, but it goes hand-in-hand with self-esteem, mental health, keeping your energy levels high, happiness; and so much more!
One of the nicest things about a daily exercise habit is that your daily exercise does not need to be intense or stressful. Rather, it can be something as simple as a thirty-minute walk, a nice swim, shooting hoops with your friends, or hiking; among so many other excellent forms of exercise, of course.
Come Up With New Ideas Every Single Day
Everyone is creative. Everyone has the ability to come up with great ideas, and to turn those ideas into realities of one sort or another. Everyone possesses this ability. You possess this ability, I possess this ability; we all possess this ability.
To fully realize our own creativity, though, we need to be consistent in the ways that we express our creativity. The easiest way to do this has been, in my experience, coming up with new ideas every single day. More often than not, I do this by writing out a list of ten ideas. This is very easy to do, since none of the ideas have to be good, and you can often do this in just a few minutes.
When you do this every single day, you work with your creativity on a consistent basis. Doing this allows you to come up with all kinds of new, very good, ideas, while also expanding your creative abilities and engaging with various facets of your creativity that you may have neglected.
We all live in a Universe of infinite abundance. A significant part of that infinite abundance is an infinite abundance of extraordinary ideas. We all have the ability to come up with and find those extraordinary ideas. By taking the time to write out new ideas, every single day, we will have a much easier time working with those ideas and engaging with the infinite creative power we possess.
Express Your Gratitude Every Single Day
The value of gratitude can not, in any way, be overstated or overestimated. By expressing your gratitude every single day, in whatever form that you like, you will immerse yourself in some of the most powerful feelings known to man. Through the act of feeling those feelings, you will notice more and more lovely things to be grateful for, while also bringing in more lovely things to be grateful for.
Every single day, I lie down for ten-minutes and think of things to be grateful for. It is very easy to do this, since there are an endless number of things that I can be grateful for. Every now and then, the gratitude session doesn’t feel particularly resonant, but more often than not, I get up and I feel happy, excited, and truly blessed. These feelings, naturally, have a great effect on the other aspects of my life.
Just as a side-note, if there is something that you would like to have, do, or create, I recommend lying down and feeling grateful for its presence. Just assume that it’s there, and that you are grateful for what you are experiencing. If you do this regularly, with consistency and commitment, I guarantee that you will bring those desires into your life.
Engage In A Powerful Inner Conversation Every Single Day
Every single day, I engage in a short, but powerful, Inner Conversation. The Inner Conversations that I engage with are almost always centered around very particular aspects of my life. These are aspects such as my creative work, the happiness that I am feeling, the wealth that I am experiencing; and so on and so forth.
The power of a single Inner Conversation can not be overstated. If you engage in a powerful Inner Conversation every single day, though, you are taking the time to sculpt your life with precision and concentration. All of the thoughts, feelings, and conversations flowing around your mind give life to those next moments of your life. So, as such, it is important that you are deliberate in the way you conduct yourselves, and that you take the time to dream and express the fulfillment of your dreams, despite what appearances may indicate.
Being Consistent Is Easy
Each one of these habits is simple, but incredibly effective. Being consistent with them is incredibly easy, as long as you commit to engaging with these habits and set aside a specific amount of time to engage with them on a daily basis.
For myself, I set aside at least thirty-minutes for daily exercise, at least fifteen-minutes for creativity, and at least five-minutes for gratitude and an Inner Conversation. But, notice the word “at least”; if I want to spend more time doing those things, as I often do, then I take more time to do those things!
Each one of these habits is so valuable and so powerful, that there is no harm in having fun with them and doing them as much as you want!
