WHAT ARE YOU WILLING TO DO?

It's been several months since I've posted on this blog.  It's been a combination of being wound up on other projects and not making this blog a time priority.  It's a good situation to remind myself of the value of consistency.

Consistency is the truest measure of performance.  Anyone can have a good game, a good day, a good week, a good month or a good year.  But people who perform at the highest levels day in, day out set the bar for us amateurs.  I can stand at the free throw line on a basketball court and sink a free throw three times out of ten tries.  But Lebron James can make 9 out of 10 everyday of the year and sink 3-pointers with two guys guarding him.  That's why he makes the "big bucks" and I don't.  He's consistent.

I have the skill to manage a huge project, but I don't floss my teeth every night like I should.  I can deliver a speech in front of a 1,000 people but I can't eat a consistant diet or exercise everyday.    Whatever result you are looking for in your life, it comes down to consistent action.  Want to be at the highest level in your field?  Want to be healthy and happy?

It comes down to one question.  "What are you willing to do to get whatever you want?"
