RULES FOR WINNING: CONSISTENCY GIVES YOU THE EDGE!

As a Life Coach, its my daily “job” to teach, mentor, and remind my clients what the Rules of the Game of Life are all about: How to Win? What are some of the basics? Well…CONSISTENCY is one of those basics, without which, no one really wins at anything — not a game, not in business, and not in our relationships.

In my work as Life Coach, I’m constantly having the experience of learning from my clients and students; experiencing that the student becomes the teacher, the client becomes the coach. I just received a wonderful bit of wisdom written by George H. Allen. My friend, client and teacher Claudia Jacobs (www.claudiajacobsdesigns.com) just graced me with this article:

CONSISTENCY
By George H. Allen
Consistency is the truest measure of performance. Almost anyone can have a great day, or even a good year, but true success is the ability to perform day in and day out, year after year, under all kinds of conditions. Inconsistency will win some of the time; consistency will win most of the time.
Consistency requires concentration, determination, and repetition.
To be at your best all the time, you must:
Take nothing for granted. If you aren’t “up” every day, some thing, or someone, will knock you down.
Take pride in what you do. The things you do well are the things you enjoy doing.
Take setbacks in stride. Don’t brood over reverses; learn from them.
Take calculated chances. To win something, you must risk something.
Take work home. To get ahead, plan ahead.
Take the extra lap. Condition yourself for the long run. The tested can always take it.
Don’t take “no” for an answer.
You can do what you believe you can do.
PS…Celebrate after the victory!
