Have you ever been inconsistent at something\u2026are aware of it\u2026but still choose not to do it?   I understand. I\u2019ve been there before\u2026many of times. Too many to count.   Why is it important? Consistency is required for lasting results. Without consistency\u2026we can kiss our results goodbye.   How it manifests It shows up in every aspect of life Faith: Not spending time with God and the Word Family & Relationships: Not spending time with family and wife Health: Not working out Wealth: Not saving money Career: Not advancing in career or business   We often think this way to attempt to be more consistent\u2026 \u201cI just need to work harder, focus more, and\/or take it more serious\u201d This turns into temporary motivation And ends up leading right back to where you started Now you become afraid to set a goal again because of fear of failure and lack of commitment and consistency   7 Reasons why we are inconsistent: Why are we inconsistent? Why do we lack commitment?   We fail to understand the cost of inconsistency. It costs us more than we think by not being consistent. The commitment to our goal doesn\u2019t cost us enough. The greater investment, the greater commitment. We don\u2019t understand our identity, and our gifts and talents. We were not made as inconsistent beings. But we will be more consistent with tasks that employ our God-given gifts and talents. Distraction: We allow ourselves to do things that don\u2019t optimize the efficiency of our time. We are typically consistent in things we enjoy doing or that bring us joy. And inconsistent toward things we are not excited about. Lack of clarity on what we want. Lack of clarity leads to doing tasks that are not congruent with what we really want. Low capacity: Our mindset doesn\u2019t allow us to operate at a higher capacity Pride & Selfishness: Trying to do it all on our own     What I\u2019ve found is that consistency and commitment has nothing to do with working harder. It has everything to do with investment and cost.   \u201cYour Level of Commitment and Consistency toward a goal is equal to the level of Investment or Cost of Inconsistency\u201d     The way to accelerate results is to get help. Period! This costs you your pride and selfishness because you have to be willing to do things their way. The reason why you are consistent is because you\u2019ve been attempting to do it your way this whole time\u2026that\u2019s why it\u2019s not working.     It doesn\u2019t matter the goal\u2026Commitment & Consistency is equal to investment of acceleration or cost of inconsistency Health: Money for personal trainer\u2026or heartattack Marriage: Counseling\u2026or potential divorce Career\/Business: Money for leadership training\u2026or fledgling business Finances: Money for financial expert\/education\u2026lack of wealth Faith: Costs you your pride and selfishness\u2026or death   The reason investment works: We show up when we invest a lot of resources. We justify the cost when we invest. We look for the positive things in whatever we invest in. You cannot place a monetary gain on what happens from the investment   Things to do: Pay someone Make the investment an uncomfortable investment toward yourself so that you show up. Similar to the way I showed up for medical school because it was an investment of $200,000. This level of investment created consistency and commitment on my part Fast forward the end Think about all the consequences that will happen if you remain inconsistent. Play it forward. You can avoid those outcomes and lack of results by being consistent now.   God is proof and the perfect example of this idea. The reason he is so committed to us is because our salvation cost God the life of his son. Jesus is committed to us because our salvation cost him his life!
