One of the biggest and most underestimated secrets to becoming successful is consistency. Most don't understand it. Most laugh at it because they just don't "feel" like being consistent.
But..
Once you're able to find your "thing", consistency is going to be the single most important factor that will decide how far you will go.
You see...
People often brush aside what it is that they're supposed to be doing with their lives because it might seem like a silly idea. It might seem like something that only they enjoy doing. Sometimes your idea is made to feel like a hobby by society and thus you are convinced to dedicate a minimum amount of time to it.
Im here today to explain to you the magic of consistency.
Lightbulbs, airplanes, computers and telephones are all things that we as a modern society could not live without.
You could even go as far as to say that if those 4 items were taken away from us right now, the modern world as we know it would collapse.
Lightbulbs, airplanes, computers and telephones were however thought of as crazy ideas at one point and not accepted by the public at all.
When Edison first introduced the light bulb..it was laughed at.
Officials of the parliament told Edison that his invention "was unworthy of the attention of practical or scientific men."
Now look at the lightbulb!
When the Wright brothers said they would build a plane they were called "cranks and fools" because humans are not meant to and will never fly.
Look at modern air travel today.
When personal computers were first introduced experts stated ,"There is no reason anyone would want a computer in their home."
Look at personal computers today.
When Alexander Bell was granted the first ever patent for the Telephone companies rejected him saying "there were obvious limitations to his device, which is hardly more than a toy."
Look at telephones today.
The list goes on and on...
The main thing I want you to get out of this is that no matter how silly your idea might seem. No matter how crazy people might make you look and feel.
As long as you truly believe it can somehow enhance peoples lives...drop everything and chase that every single day.
You won't be successful right away.
Thomas Edison invented more than 1000 things before he invented the light bulb and what made him a success was the constant hunger to make peoples lives and the world a better place.
Am I saying you have to invent the next greatest thing to be happy and successful? Absolutely not!
All I'm trying to show you is that consistency has brought some of the craziest inventions to life and it can also bring you to your happiness.
It can bring you whatever your heart desires.
Just get hungry. Get focused. Be consistent and you are going to kill it.
No matter what it is that you want. If you chase it consistently. You will eventually catch it.
