I promise it’s not your luck.
Dear Authentic Introvert,
Consistency is a tricky thing. It can take you from mediocrity to greatness but only if it’s accompanied by intent. Let me explain.
Have you heard someone complain that they feel stuck despite working hard consistently for years?
And you wonder why they’re stuck when others who started with them and didn’t work as hard are far ahead.
Is it sheer luck? Not really.
Some people, although hardworking and consistent, lack intent which shows in their approach.
When something is not working, it doesn’t mean you keep pushing against the wall until it moves.
If you really want to get somewhere, you need to be a bit experimental.
It doesn’t mean you keep switching careers every six months, but you need to try new ways to do the same thing and learn a thing or two along the way.
That’s how you develop new skills, which are reflected in the quality of your work.
And when that quality starts meeting the demand, you start hitting milestones.
Consistency means building over things you already have and piling up those layers until they are high enough to help you rise.
What’s one new thing you are consistently working on that you weren’t before?
