This is why it's important that before you start out on your journey to phenomenal living, you ensure to count the cost. How long do you want to stay around? What will it require? Can you stand even when the odds are against you?
While counting the cost is necessary, the counted cost can cause you to not try at all or just quit. But like I always say, the duty of fear is to keep you safe and in keeping you safe it keeps you stuck.
The challenge most people are face when they decide to start living intentionally and fulfilling their purpose is the fear that they may not be able to continue. I had similar challenge too and it kept me stuck for a really long time.
However, so far so good, here are things that boost my consistency and has helped me stay around up till this moment, they are;
1. The person whose work I'm doing.
I always tell myself, "this is your Master's business and this is the reason He created you, so you have to stay on and give it your best"
2. People who have benefited from the little things I do.
Every purpose serves to fill a vacuum and meet a need. I feel motivated to keep up the good work when people connect with the things I do. This brings fulfillment that is beyond expression.
3. The calibre of people I surround myself with. The people you surround yourself with offline and online matter a whole lot. The kind of people I have around me do not take no for an answer. Everyone is working so hard and encouraging others to do same.
4. People who challenge me with "she go tire" bad belle people, lol. I value this set of people a lot. They dare me and I dare myself.
5. Things I write to challenge others.
I know I do a lot of post that motivate and engineer people to be more, and it will be a disappointment and failure on my part to send people to heaven and go to hell. God forbid! So, what I write challenge me too. And I need to lead by example.
6. My Purpose/Vision
This is the essence of my living. Without fulfilling my purpose I'm Walking Dead. And God forbid it that I live such life or go back to that kind of life again. Fulfilling my purpose is not negotiable no matter the circumstance I find myself.
7. The lives I'm yet to impact.
I know I have my audience and the crowd God has designed I impact. I also know that generations are waiting for my light to shine so that theirs can shine too. I choose and pledge not to be a barrier to them. When you shine your light, you help others shine theirs too.
Darling, if you're strong enough to dare yourself to start working on your purpose, any or all of these items above can help you stay consistent. What's important is that you make a move, don't worry so much about being consistent, it will take care of itself once you start.
Get unstuck and live fearlessly
