Consistency and Persistency (10 tips to get back on course)

Consistency and persistency is the greatest gift you can give your, goals, dreams, family, relationship, and organization. It is amazing how easy drift occurs. It is the rocket ship in space phenomena. The rocket ship is off course 97% of the time. The gyrator in the rocket keeps adjusting and re-adjusting, the target is the key. The readings on the screen show that the rocket really is not on course the majority of the time. This is important to understand because we won’t be either.
Here are some tips to help get back on course:

1) Know where you are going. Similar to the rocket there is no adjustments without the decision of the destination then fine tuning.
2) Become the person in the process that should obtain this vision.
3) Know that you will be tested to see if you deserve the vision of where you were heading.
4) Know that the tests are as they should be. If you received everything you wanted and it came without the trials, you would squander it, because the tests refine you.
5) Set up a game-plan, in business this is called a business plan.
6) The more time spent planning (plotting the course) the more efficient the journey (flight).
7) Don’t over think the mundane tasks, as the Nike slogan goes “Just Do It”.
8) Bring a book, this can take a while. You will never arrive as quickly as you thought, but once you arrive it will seem faster than it should
9) Choose your traveling book wisely. The reason this is a book not a movie or other item. Books are incredible ways to uncover and have the author instruct you about the journey of your very trip. Books today almost appear to be an intimate dialogue with me and the author.
10) Journal your path. “If you reach the top of any mountain and you are alone then you will likely jump off the other side.” Zig Ziglar. The course of flight is more valuable then the destination, don’t let it go unexplored.

Even if you feel like the vision of where you are going is unreachable because of where you are today in the present, remember the rocket’s poor numbers and move forward. It is much easier to steer any vehicle when it is moving.
