“Setting a goal is not the main thing. It is deciding how you will go about achieving it and staying with that plan.” — Tom Landry

Salut fams.

This article as been sitting in my draft for sometimes now. I got the inspiration to complete it today after reading @Mictorrani post "Suggested reading 25" with about 80% of the posts featured centered towards Consistency (both in Crypto and life generally).

The nature of consistency

Why would you look at a friend or someone you have known for sometimes now and say he or she is a good, bad, generous, stingy, smart or a foolish person? Pardon me for trying to indulge your thinking faculty to get a deeper insight into the topic before hand.

Consistency is Defined as:

1. reliability or uniformity; the quality of being consistent

2. the degree of viscosity of something

   Mix it until it has the consistency of a thick paste.

3. (logic) Freedom from contradiction; the state of a system of axioms such that none of the propositions deduced from them are mutually contradictory Source

According to the definition above It means being reliable or having uniformity. It is having a quality of been consistent. If I may, I would say the ability to maintain a certain line of action (intellectually or physically) over a significant period of time.

Consistent is a rich master

When we imbibe the nature of been consistent in our lifestyle, we would surely be rewarded. You see consistency is like a task master, so long as you do what you used to do (wether good or bad), it will reward you for it. When you set a goal to be achieved in a certain time frame, been consistent is what will make that goal materialise. Cristiano Ronaldo was once interviewed at a time and ask the secret of his success. He gave a very simple answer, he said ' Well, I am talented. But what is talent without Work and the work is done everyday. So I am what I am today because I consistently work to improve my talent'. Wow! Great words from a great player. I'm a huge fan of his by the way🤩😁

Benefits of being consistent

1. It makes you genuine. From one of the definition about, consistent itself is defined as being free from contradiction. It is the same Everytime. Being consistent makes you have your own personal identity, your own special Aurora. It makes you who you are. You don't have to lie or pretend that you're another person or another thing.

2. It keeps you at the forefront of your endeavors. In your choice career, all you need is to be consistent and diligent to your work. It will make you stand out among the crowd.

3. Brings your dreams to reality. A man who is inconsistent in his ways, would only envision and dream, but let him forget manifestations of those dreams.

4. It creates wealth for you. I once stayed in a room with an internet fraudster (called Yahoo Yahoo in my country), I was amazed to the fact that this person would make sure he chats with his 'client' for atleast 3hrs a day at around 7pm in the evening and around 2am in the night. He would have to be doing that for atleast 2 to 3 months before his client would fall and get ripped. I do not support fraud, so if you too can get a legal source of income, be consistent in it. Don't wait till you get a job offer with huge pay before you start work. Get something doing and be consistent in it. Take for example: some tiktok users have made millions of naira through their channels because they would make either a funny video or any other entertaining video and they stick to it. As times goes on, their subscribers would reach a large amount then companies would come to them to advertise their products. They were able to create wealth for themselves using their digital sets but not without consistency.

5. You become a true son of God. One of the thing God loves in a man is consistency. He loves one who would remain true to him and who won't change at anytime.

If you trust God, he will never put you to shame, but when he trusts you and sees that you are trustworthy, he makes a shame removal yourself. Only one who is consistent will be trustworthy because you can predict them, you can beat your chest and testify for them in their absence.
