Consistency

Consistency beaks inconsistent intensity.

“And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.”

Galatians 6:9

“When Daniel knew that the document had been signed, he went to his house where he had windows in his upper chamber open toward Jerusalem. He got down on his knees three times a day and prayed and gave thanks before his God, as he had done previously.

Daniel 6:10

Are you still committed to your plan to change yourself into a more masculine and capable man? Have you kept reading this book each day? Have you applied the ideals of masculinity and focused your mind on becoming a better man? Or like so many other weak-willed, weak-minded individuals in the Church, have you given up because the change is too hard or because you simply missed a day of Bible reading? Streaks in and of themselves do not matter if you are not improving in a way that can be measured.

Men, consistency and intensity will destroy volume every day in terms of sheer production.

There are some men who read large chunks of Bible a couple times a month, but they will lose out to the man who reads a chapter every day. Men who are “weekend warriors” with their physical training are almost never fast, strong or intelligent. 

The weak cannot stick to their goals. The weak talk about “challenge” and spiritual nonsense the instant before they utterly fail as men and fail in their efforts to change themselves. Maintaining your good habits every day is a key to success. No matter how small the habits are when you begin, and no matter how much you are doing currently, what matters most is being consistent with those habits every single day. 

You do not miss days; missing days is for the weak. You are not “too tired”; tiredness is for ancient men. You are not “too busy”; being too busy is nothing more than you either lying to yourself or being too weak to tell other people “no”. You don’t have “other things to do”; reorder your priorities or be forgotten forever. 

You do not have any excuses; excuses are for beta males who look for anything but themselves to blame for the way their lives have turned out. This is your life, take ownership of it and be consistent every day into transforming it into something great. You will be making exponential progress while the betas in church manipulate the virtue “contentment” to justify their laziness and complacency in their own lives.

Mantra

Every day, consistency, focus, and progress are in my hands.

Application

If you are having trouble with consistency, cut out all habits except one and focus on it every day until you can do it automatically and without fail. Automaticity is the key. You want to build a habit to the point where it takes very little effort to start it. This automation does not make the habit easy, it just makes it easier to initiate the habit every day. Your physical training may be very difficult, but it should not be a massive internal struggle to show up to your training grounds. 

You can build this automaticity by making your desired habit extremely small.

If you are trying to read Scripture every day, you need to start with one verse per day. This strategy flies in the face of what almost everyone in society does. They want to begin with some monstrous goal and they are shocked when they fail and cannot sustain the discipline. The key to consistency is to be start so small that it seems insignificant. You are not directly building the habit of reading Scripture every day, you are actually building the habit of consistency. This consistency will serve as the framework for the other habits you will start. 

Always add additional work slowly.

Do not add more Scripture until you can handle it. Once you can handle one verse a day, move to two verses a day. If you cannot sustain two verses, go back to one until you build the strength to handle it. It may seem silly to suggest that people cannot handle two verses per day, but remember that if you are like most Christians, you have not been able to sustain even one verse per day for most of your life. Lay one brick at a time. Don’t worry about the end state, worry about developing consistency.

Conduct yourselves like men.
