Success Power Points: Power of Consistency

Anthony Robbins remarked, “In essence, if we want to direct our lives, we must take control of our consistent actions. It’s not what we do once in a while that shapes our lives, but what we do consistently.”

Consistency Defined: Consistency is defined as “The ability to maintain a particular standard or repeat a particular task with minimal variation.” Encarta World English Dictionary

Consistency is a success power point that must be cultivated in order to be productive and proactive in the face of insurmountable challenges. As we all know that to succeed is the aspiration of everyone either in personal or professional life. Consistency is one of the keys to an extraordinary success and long-term fulfillment in any enterprise. A set goal or objective inconsistently pursued will not produce the maximum result.

Consistency is the ability to stay the course on the task at hand day in and day out repeating the same procedure until the objective is attained. For instance, you have set a goal to read two books related to your area of interest within a month, to be successful at that you must be consistent with the action plan you have put in place to achieve that objective.

I came across a formula for reading on the average two books every month, which was to read at least ten pages every day. Now, this sounds and looks simple but its effectiveness is not in the simplicity but in the power of consistency. To be action oriented is of utmost importance and much more the discipline of being consistent with the action plan will ultimately produce an extraordinary success.
