Consistency isn't everything. Here's two examples: - This guy has uploaded 2,000,000 times on YouTube and isn't the biggest channel in the world. - I play Call of Duty quite often. But I haven't got that much better in years. You see, most people misinterpret the 10,000 hour rule. It's not enough just to do something for 10,000 hours. You have to do 10,000 hours of deliberate practice. 1. Quantity + Deliberate Practice → Quality 2. Consistency > Intensity 3. Consistency develops ability So, consistency isn't everything. But if you combine consistency with deliberate practice... Given a long enough time-frame. It's impossible NOT to succeed. /// What exactly is consistency? In order to become consistent, you must understand what consistency is. Consistency is to continue doing regardless of the outcome of your doing. Some people do something, get no results, so stop doing the thing. Other people do something, get a lot of results, so stop doing the thing. /// How do you become consistent? I'm not as consistent as I'd like to be. Here's how I plan to change that: You become consistent by swapping attachment to outcome, with attachment to the process. You stop focusing on what you can't control (results). And start focusing on what you can control (actions). This becomes much easier when you realise that if the results aren't coming, it's either because you haven't given it enough time, or because you're not yet good enough. So the solution to this is to: 1. Keep going (consistency) 2. Get better (deliberate practice) If you do that for long enough, then the results will come. Understanding this makes it far easier to swap attachment to outcome, with attachment to actions. Also - it's much easier to be consistent if you TRUST THE PROCESS (fall in love with the journey) If you go to the gym regularly, get stronger each week, eat enough calories and protein... You're gonna put on muscle.
