Consistency. That is the whole point of this. To consistently provide an action to the present moment. To consistently take extreme accountability, to construct habits that propel you beyond the measure thought possible. To be extraordinary, one must be extra-ordinary, or to do ‘extra’ of the ‘ordinary’ work. To consistently do what many others put off as ‘boring work’. This is where the real crux of the matter lies: in the boring work. Continue to cultivate actions that when done consistently… create extraordinary results. This is a consistent effort to apply patience, to recognize that progredi is less than linear, and that as you move the bar higher, it can be easy to ignore the steps taken to be where you are right now.

Stop to smell the roses, and while you are there, do your practice drills, learn that new skill, do the action. Continue to do this with the journey in mind, with the present in mind… As you do this you cultivate that consistency.

Should you falter, sit well, dust yourself off and go again, it is consistent doing, consistent showing up every moment. The setbacks are instead stepping forward. Learning, like muscle growth, requires the destruction of the old filling and the expansion of the structure. Muscles break to grow stronger; lessons are often learnt on the same coin.

Meditate.
