Most people advise that one should start any work at full pace and after performance comes down, it’s called intensity. However, consistency refers to making the same efforts on a daily basis.These two terms can be described easily by the old rabbit and tortoise story. The rabbit starts his race with intensity, but the tortoise wins his race with consistency. I still don’t get why people are so surprised that the tortoise beat the rabbit over the long run. Consistent effort, no matter how small,sparks magic, fills sails, butters bread, turnstides, inspires faith, summon friends, improves health,burn calories, creates abundance,yields clarity,builds courage, spins planets, and rewrite destinies. No matter how small, never give up and be consistent.
If you see, in this life there’s no sudden success. Most times, to become a star, you can’t escape scars. Continuous practice is inevitable if you want to be a master of something.We today’s youth get tired and fed up easily, but we still want to fulfill our destiny.There’s a bitter truth that we all need to understand, and that is, we all , desiring success, must attend the school of consistency.In whatever discipline you’re in, try and BE CONSISTENT.Even our God deals in consistency. That’s one of the reasons why he won’t give up easily on erring sinners. He will keep pushing until they’re converted and come back to him in his bosom of grace and mercy. It may seem to you that all your efforts are unnoticeable, but let me tell you, if you don’t give up, your work will still speak.
The Prophet (pbuh) said, “Take up good deeds only as much as you are able, for the best deeds are those done regularly, even if they are few.” (Ibn Majah). He also said “The most beloved deeds to Allah are those that are most consistent, even if they are small.” (Bukhari). Both the hadiths clearly indicate that it is the consistency of our deeds that counts more than anything else. Even if they are few, the fact that you are constantly performing them for the sake of Allah shows your commitment and devotion to your Creator, thus proving your love for Him. Allah SWT is pleased with us because of our dedication and determination to gain His love, mercy, and countless bounties.To enjoy God’s will, God’s blessings, God’s favor, God’s backing, God’s goodness in all its ramifications, you have to be consistent, you have to be intentional, you have to possess the spirit of do or die, you have to possess a resilient spirit. God doesn’t deal with lazy people. God will never accompany people who give up easily in the journey of life . God Himself saw their seriousness and spirit of do or die, either success or not. He quickly summoned His angels to meet and thereafter scattered their language.
One workout will not make your muscles toned. One workout will not give you endurance. One healthy meal will not give you abs or get you to your goal weight. Because each time you show up to your workout, you prove to yourself that consistency matters. Each time you choose a healthy meal over junk food, you prove to yourself that Consistency Matters.You don’t do it because you know you’re going to see instant results, but you know that if you keep showing up. It’s going to get easier. You’re going to feel better. You will have more endurance. It will hurt less. You will see results. But that only happens when you remain consistent and prove to yourself that consistency matters.All of the people who are admired on a national and international level in music, businesses, academia, the ministry, etc., have been consistent pushers who don’t give up easily.. There’s nothing too big for God to do, but He needs our serious and consistent prayer. Be steady even as you keep praying. Be well-calculated as you keep pushing.Be consistent in everything you do.
To sum up, consistency is about to put on the best of our ability every time we have to do something. Through being consistent in our deeds, we naturally gain the capability to be consistent and coherent in our lives, such as when interacting with people and when accomplishing our daily, monthly, and yearly goals. This can be accomplished by cleansing the intentions on a regular basis as well as keeping in mind that I will do my best to be consistent in every deed. Furthermore, let us make it a habit to continually ask God for his support so that we may achieve consistency and quality in all aspects of our lives.
My love, don’t feel sorry
When you can’t afford anything fancy
For your love, loyalty, and consistency
Are enough for me.
