Do you have a dream in your heart, but it feels like you're moving through molasses to get there?
Ever wished you were more disciplined to do it?
Or do you look around you and think, "everyone is so much further along in life than me?"
We're discussing the key to getting more of what you want in life.
Today is for you if…
If you're tired of looking at everyone else's progress or wins and wish you had some of your own.
If you desire, become more disciplined to do what you know you need to do.
If you're ready for the secret to achieving your goals and fulfilling your dreams.
I have a dream to help women overcome fear and fulfill their purpose. Somedays, it feels like it's a million miles away. I feel like I'm slow at everything. I look at others, and if I'm not careful, I'll get into comparison mode, thinking everyone is much ahead of me.
It reminds me of a story…
When I feel like my progress is so s.l.o.w., I remind myself the tortoise wins the race.
So did Paul…
1 Corinthians 9:24-27 NASB
24 Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may win. 25 Everyone who competes in the games exercises self-control in all things. So they do it to obtain a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable. 26 Therefore I run in such a way as not to run aimlessly; I box in such a way, as to avoid hitting air; 27 but I strictly discipline my body and make it my slave, so that, after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified.
Paul lived his life in a way to fulfill his God-given calling.
What's the key?
Every person I've seen fulfilling their purpose has this in common…consistency.
Consistency is the key to unlocking what we want in life.
Here are five steps to creating more consistency in your life.
1. Where are you consistent now?
Are you consistent at being inconsistent?
Are you consistent with scrolling social media?
We say we're not disciplined, but we're really just consistent at the wrong thing most of the time.
Knowing this also shifts your mindset from I'm not consistent to I need to be consistent at the right thing.
2. Where do you need to be consistent?
List where you need to be consistent in your life.
• Physically?
• Emotionally?
• Mentally?
• Spiritually?
• Family?
• Career/Business?
3. Pick one thing
Pick one thing to get consistent at to start.
You'll get overwhelmed and quit if you try to do everything at once.
Add on as you get consistent with that one thing.
4. Do something
Do something towards that one thing every day.
"We can't do everything at once, but by God, we can do something at once!" – Andy Andrews, The Seven Decisions: Understanding the Keys to Personal Success
5. Schedule Consistency
Make room on your calendar for consistency.
You'll never do it if you don't plan on doing it.
Slow and steady win the race!!
Fear comes up on our journey and tries to stop us from being consistent, which keeps us from fulfilling our dreams and becoming who we want to be.
