Why consistency is so hard

7 years ago, I sat in a coffee shop with a friend.

Consistency felt like grabbing wind in the dark.

• I was running on 5 hours of sleep (newborn stage)

• Exercise wasn’t feeling fun

• I ate my stress

• I hated my job

I craved stability.

I unloaded these problems to my friend, who was 10 years older than me.

• He and his wife homeschooled their 6 kids

• He was becoming an elder at our church

• He coached his kids’ baseball team

• He was a director at his job

• He made exercise happen

And he did it all with a smile on his face.

I envied his joy. I couldn’t understand how he balanced it all.

So I asked him.

“How are you so consistent? How do you do all of this?”

Here was his answer, in 3 words.

A clear vision.

It’s taken me 7 years to understand what he meant by that.

But I get it now.

Consistency is hard when we are confused about what we want.

Consistency is easier when we are clear about what we want.

Here are 3 questions that helped me find clarity.

1. What would a perfect day look like in 5 years? (Write it out)

2. What does today look like? (Write it out)

3. What’s one goal I can set for the next 90 days? (Write it out)

Then go do it.

Clarity makes consistency possible.

Keep on keeping on.
