Commitment AND Consistency = Future Success
Jan 08, 2024Commitment: the state or quality of being dedicated to a cause or activity (source: Oxford Languages)
Consistency: conformity in the application of something (source: Oxford Languages)
Commitment and Consistency = a winning combination. Similarities, yes. But, one without the other leaves a precarious void. You can't do one well without the other.
And this is where I failed you. I will give no excuses.
My weekly Monday Mindset has been MIA. First, I missed 1 week then another week and almost missed this week! But, instead of Monday, I'm landing on a Tuesday evening. Eye Roll. Thus the title, "Tuesday Trauma (tongue in cheek not to be insensitive to those who have experienced true trauma)."
How did this happen? I wasn't sick, didn't have an injury, and no one needed me. I didn't experience a technology breakdown or a natural disaster. No logical excuse. FYI...finding and sharing excuses is a lousy way to live life.
Nope I can only tell you it was the tyranny of the urgent.
The tyranny of the urgent prevents me from doing the important.
I made a commitment to communicate with you on a consistent basis so you could get to know me.
Consistency fell away.
But nothing happens until I commit. And I mean deep commitment, not superficial words. My actions must reflect my values. Psst....this apply to life/relationships, too.
Without commitment and consistency you can't rely on me.
What haunts me is the quote, attributed to Martha Beck,
"How I do one thing is how I do everything."
Where else in my life do I not show the winning combination of commitment and consistency?
What's important to you? Are you showing commitment and consistency?
Your Success, My Support.
