Momentum

 I think a lot of people struggle with maintaining consistency in at least one area of their life.         They have a good run starting a new habit or practice until something inevitably comes along that disrupts their routine.

 Their momentum gets broken and they have a hard time getting back in it.

 This leads to frustration, discouragement, and depression.

 It's kind of like pushing or pulling a heavy sled or vehicle.

 The worst thing you can do - especially when you're getting fatigued- is stop.

  It's easier to keep the load moving than to break inertia to get it started again.

 Most stop because they feel they've run out of strength and stamina, or the motivation or inspiration just isn't there.

 Strength and stamina are developed by pushing farther than before, over and over.

 Motivation and inspiration rely on emotion and opportunity.

 Discipline relies on habit and integrity.

 Discipline requires you to set standards and goals and find a way to meet them.

 Discipline will keep you pushing forward through discomfort and fatigue.

 Setting goals and meeting them will keep you focused and on task, while building your confidence.

 Consistent repetition will build strength and staying power in that practice.

 Create a vision of yourself - give it purpose and power, and let it drive you to develop the mindset and habits to lead you to success.
