“Success is neither magical nor mysterious. Success is the natural consequence of consistently applying basic fundamentals.” – Jim Rohn
How time flies! We are approaching the end of the 1st quarter of 2021! This quarter also marks the 1st year when our ‘normal’ lives were interrupted by the emergence of the novel covid virus. I doubt there is anyone who has not felt the impact of covid.
Lately, I have been reflecting on the importance of being consistent in life. I have tried to ask and research what causes one to stop being consistent, after making a quality decision to achieve a goal? Why does one get excited at the beginning, and then the excitement begins to wane with the passage of time?
One thing that has stuck with me is life is not really about the highs and lows, but in the mundane, and finding excitement in the mundane activities of life. And so the question – is how can you be excited with the mundane activities of life? Of course, mundane activities are different with each individual – for me, it will include – having my glass of lemon and apple cider vinegar warm water every morning; going to the gym after my morning devotion; weekly planning; doing some research on areas of interest… and the list continues.
What I have been reminded about is that the consistency of doing these apparently mundane activities is what yields massive rewards and fulfillment in life. Conversely consistently neglecting those seemingly mundane activities leads to failure, disappointments, and all things negative. It is in my regular exercise (whether I feel like it or not) that enables me to remain trim, it was in my weekly writings last year that led to my 1st book been written. According to Jim Rohn “applying your basic fundamentals consistently is what naturally leads to success”.
Are you aware of your basic fundamentals, which if you stick to them, will lead to your own success? As we end the 1st quarter of 2021, I encourage you to re-examine your basic fundamentals and assess yourself on them. In the upcoming quarter, how can you re-introduce some of the basic fundamentals that are important to you and be consistent with them?
Several questions today..but I believe it’s a good way to plan and work towards having a successful 2nd quarter!
How do you remain consistent in doing the things you know need to be done to ensure?
