The #1 Key To Success

The number one most important thing that you must do in order to achieve success in any great endeavor is to be consistent.

I know, it seems like a boring and obvious answer. But it’s the honest truth.

Too often we get distracted by all of our measurements of progress and worry about when we will receive our desired results instead of staying focused on how.

If you eat in a calorie deficit every day, you will lose weight.

How much?

All of it. Assuming you stick to the consistency of eating in a calorie deficit long enough.

That’s the power of staying consistent. You might only lose 0.025 pounds per week, but those numbers will add up eventually.

You just have to keep showing up and putting in the work daily.

That is the mindset and perspective that I am currently implementing for this blog and my career as an author and paid writer as a whole.

Some days, it’s easy. I wake up and I feel confident and on top of the world like I’m going to be a best-selling author next week.

Other days, like today, I wake up full of doubt and wonder why I even bother doing any of the things that I do.

Days like today are when the war is won.

Whatever it is that you are doing, you are inevitably going to have moments of doubt, fear, and anxiety.

You are going to feel like you are wasting your time and that your dream is impossible.

Instead of dreading these moments and throwing in the towel, relish them and rejoice.

Because every time you stick to your daily routine and habits despite feeling all of those negative emotions, you leap forward giant steps that would’ve taken you months to achieve otherwise.

The moments of doubt and fear are when the war is won and your dreams are materialized.

Don’t give up and don’t stop.

Focus on staying consistent and you will achieve everything that you desire in time.
