In order to truly be successful in anything, we have to be consistent with our effort. Most of us don't get to where we want to be in life by sometimes doing the things we need to do. Sadly, many people don't get where they want to be because they are either unwilling to try that hard or to scared to go for it.
To be good parents, we have to be consistent with our discipline, rules and expectations. To get or stay out of debt we have to consistently pay our bills on time and spend less money than we actually have coming in. To save money, we have to consistently put money into savings, decide on an amount per week or month to get to where we want to be. To lose weight or become more fit, we consistently have to eat well and exercise. It doesn't work if sometimes I eat well and other days I eat fast food and lay on the couch. If you want a raise or to be noticed as a great worker, you have to consistently be doing a great job, doing more than what you were asked of. If some days you came in and did a great job and other days were a total slacker, do you think that promotion would come any sooner? No. To truly get where we want to be in life takes consistent behaviors. Can we sometimes fall off and still succeed? I believe that yes we can. We just can't fall too far for too long.
Decide what you want in life, figure out what you need to do to get there, then be consistent about those activities, behaviors, attitudes, etc. You will eventually go where you want to go.
Don't give up when it gets hard, that's when you need to dig deep and push even harder. That is where the true benefits are.
This philosophy certainly related to your health and fitness, but it should be applied to all aspects of life; relationships, career, etc.
This is something I am certainly needing to work on, perhaps this reminder will help you too!
