It will show…
I remember working with a personal trainer many years ago. The first thing he said to me? "Be consistent, show up and do the work. It'll pay off in the long run." He was right, 25 years later, I can appreciate the benefits of consistently showing up.
The good news here? Consistency applies to ANY goal.
"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.” Aristotle
Yes, anything we repeatedly do, over time, will end up "showing". I recently attended a celebration of life and reconnected with some people I had not seen in 25 years! The amazing thing about not seeing people for that length of time? You can tell, rather quickly, who prioritized their health and wellness. From a purely observational stance - it showed. I use this example to illustrate that anything we do repeatedly will be evident over time. The physical is just obvious.
Consistency is a double edged sword - where you are today, is a sum total of all your decisions and habits over time. Love where you are? Great! If not, good news here. The way you got here, is the very same way you can get to where you want to be. Small habits and decisions over time, will result in transformational change.
Whether it's a physical change, a financial goal or a relationship you want to improve, tiny, consistent, steps will result in long term change.
Transformational change.
Showing up and putting in the effort daily will pay off. Daily? Yes, daily.

Let's get to it...
Your challenge for the next week...
Pick a goal that you don't seem to be getting any traction on, one that you're willing to invest in now. Keep it simple and small.
Commit to taking daily action. It could be as simple as:
sending one email
making one phone call
writing one sentence
putting the money you're saving by making your lunch into an investment account
choose one small action that pertains to your particular goal
Small steps over time will get results. Promise.
Where could you start some consistent action?
