consistency Archives - Aaron McHugh

I am speaking to the deepest part of you,

that inner voice that knows a bet on you is better than

the wagon that you are currently hitched to.

You are more powerful than you believe.

You are more influential than you think.

Invest a dollar, an hour, an ounce of emotional energy in yourself.

You will never loose.

Markets are volatile. You are steady.

Money is fleeting. You are constant.

Risk equals reward and sometimes just a good story.

I find that one of my greatest challenges to producing or yielding more in life is due to a lack of consistency.

Consistency is a challenge.

Pick any one of these: your diet, your marriage, your yard, your finances, your career, your hobby, your fitness, your relationships.

How challenging do you find it for each of these to be yielding the fruit you dream about?

Maybe we need a “You pick two” type approach like a Panera Bread meal deal?

Do you want a soup and a sandwich combo?

Today, I balanced the checkbook (finances), worked with a new hire (career) and squeezed in a 42 min lunch time run (fitness).

Diet, sleep and marriage are all out of balance today.

Maybe we need to approach Life like we do our financial portfolio, dollar cost averaging.

Over time, consistent, small deposits invested regularly will yield a better harvest than small sporadic investments.

But if you measure any one day by itself, or only make irregular occasional deposits, your overall return will be lower.

If this does not work, then I’m in trouble.

How about you?

What does your trend line look like?
