Consistency is key to a better you

CONSISTENCY is the golden thread of a life well-lived and the glue that turns our inspiration into reality, says leadership, personal growth mentor and author of The 5am Club and The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari, Robin Sharma.

Robin recently launched an audio mentoring programme titled The Deep Magic of Daily Consistency which is a blend between an audio-book and podcast (available via Apple and Spotify).

In the programme he explains how to achieve small, yet consistent daily improvements that lead to transformative results.

"We can try to install great habits, set goals and have wonderful ambitions, but without consistency, ideas don't become reality," Robin explains.

Although we know we need to be consistent with our goals, people still find it extremely difficult. We asked Robin why this is.

Why do people struggle with consistency?

It's mainly due to broken beliefs. A lot of us have these ideas that we're not good enough, smart enough, fast enough or able enough to make the changes we want to make.

Any good positive psychologist will tell you that your personal story determines how you live in the world. Therefore, our daily behaviour reflects our deepest beliefs and if our beliefs are not helpful, then we're not even going to do the things required to install the new habits or to get the goals done.

People also surround themselves with too many energy vampires and dream-stealers.
