“Success is neither magical nor mysterious. Success is the natural consequence of consistently applying basic fundamentals.” — E. James Rohn
Consistency ⚙️
Consistency is the constant repetition of a particular behaviour, over a period time, with gradual enhancements and improvements.
To be consistent is to routinely perform something — perhaps the habit of reading 10 pages every day. Over time, as you stay consistent with the action, you’ll notice slow but definite improvements. You’ll get better at the skill!
Consistency isn’t about doing things perfectly and never making mistakes. It’s about allowing yourself to get things wrong and learning from your errors.
Consistency also isn’t about doing the exact same thing over and over again, with no change. It’s about marginally increasing the intensity and adding challenge — this helps you grow as a person.
Consistency can apply to absolutely anything, and it’s crucial when it comes to success.

Consistency may seem pretty boring, and it is — you’re repeating the same thing, time and time again, without too many big changes.
Success, however, is the product of these mundane actions added together over time. If you want to be great, you have to be okay with boring.
