I am always amazed at how people sometimes act inconsistently with what they want to be. And thus, with what they are – deep within. That is particularly visible in my practice of coaching.
I do also fall into this trap too often. And I regret when that happens.
Because I know that it is only by being consistent with what I want to be, that I’ll become what I want to be. But my behavior is not always consistent!
So, what can we do? Probably the best solution is to keep in mind what we want to be, what is our goal and purpose, and repeat it inside us over and over again like a mantra throughout the day.
Repeat it, in particular when times are tough and stressful and we tend to come back to our old natural self.
But don’t say it because if your behavior is inconsistent with what you say, that’s even worse!
The day where somebody will tell you that he or she feels like you really are like what you want to be, you’ll know you are on the right way.
When do you start monitoring how consistent you are with what you want to be? What do you do to improve this consistency?
