To be consistent in the things we do has many great advantages and people who consciously practice being consistent, know it! So, if we’re serious about change in any area of our life, we need to be constantly and regularly performing good habits. By doing that, we’ll find whatever we’re looking to achieve will take off to a higher level. Of course, being consistent isn’t easy because we naturally tend to come up with all kinds of excuses, especially if the consistent action we need to take is very uncomfortable to do. Another killer of consistency is distractions. We become distracted by losing focus of our long-term goals because we tend to live for short term results. When we don’t see results right away, we give up on being consistent. We have to look at consistency as small steps of improvement for an extended period of time that will lead us to big results. It’s the most well-known mindset of successful individuals. That’s the power of being consistent!
I’m sure we can imagine that consistency is a key factor in the area of our finances too. Our money habits are formed based on how we constantly handle our money, from saving to spending. As with any habits, money habits can also be good or bad, so in order for us to achieve financial freedom we obviously need to be consistent with good money habits. Good money habits don’t just have to do with saving money, it also has to do with how we spend our money. It’s the consistency we have with both of those things that will determine our financial success. Being consistent in saving money is obvious, because we know consistently putting a certain amount of money aside for retirement, emergencies, vacation, etc. is a good habit. But how we consistently spend our money is just as important and often times overlooked. We need to make sure we’re building good overall money habits and use the power of consistency to get there. The longer we practice consistency, the more automatic it becomes. That’s what’s great about being consistent.
Consistency is also a great confidence builder. As we become more confident in ourselves, we also learn to trust ourselves much more with monetary decisions because our saving and spending activities become second nature without having to put much thought into our day-to-day finances. Being consistent through hard work and commitment is something we’ll be able to take pride in and it will, without a doubt, give us an advantage over those who don’t use the power of consistency with their finances or in any area of their lives. We don’t get to where we want to be in life by doing things once in a while…we get there by being deliberately consistent in what we do! If we’re patient, give it time and stick with it, we’ll reach exceptional levels in our lives that we thought we never would.
