# Chapter 337

Persistent consistency or it consistent persistence? This the superpower of the ages, even when you don’t feel good about whatever, at the end of the day you will be able to look back and see all that got done, all that you accomplished somehow. Perhaps it is short of what you aspired to complete, perhaps it feels like you are struggling throughout the day, perhaps you did not find the long windows of uninterrupted time to do the very very best you are capable of, or perhaps you battled with motivation to continue in the course of the day, yet persistent consistency and consistent persistence wins the day every single day. Maybe all of these “perhaps” in the previous sentence happened to you and me while we were trying to be persistent, yet if we had failed then nothing would have been accomplished.

In other words, you might be encouraged if you look at it in the negatives, and yes I know, that sounds like an oxymoron. But if I had not persisted in pedaling yesterday I would be somewhere in south York County not moving forward. If I had not persisted in pushing that lawn mower the grass would be taller. If I had not persisted in grinding my way methodically through all the client material, that list would be almost 900 long. If I had nor persisted in continuing to write one more word and then one more word, in each client letter, I would have finished exactly zero. While my ambition may have been to complete more and better than I did, much was finished that would not have even been started if not for persistent consistency and consistent persistence.
