If you really want to grow and develop, you need to be aware of ‘the law of consistency. It says that motivation gets you going, but discipline – or consistency – keeps you growing. We overestimate intensity and underestimate consistency. You don’t have to do something all day, but every day, to see growth and success in your life. Your life and growth has to be stored up before it shows up.’ (J.Maxwell) So growth is not so much about how much effort you put into it, but whether you keep doing that incremental activity every day. Self-discipline is the missing ingredient many times.

Confidence: Idea #543
Do you ever lack confidence in what you’re doing, or are responsible for? As a noted musician says, ‘Be your own artist, and always be confident in what you’re doing. If you’re not going to be confident, you might as well not be doing it.’ (A.Franklin) That’s a bold idea – if you’re not confident, why are you doing it? Do you know what you need? ‘The key is not the will to win. Everybody has that. It is the will to prepare to win that is important.’ (B.Knight) Are you preparing properly so that you can be confident in your role?

Mirror: Idea #542
Do you spend time in front of a mirror to make sure you look OK? Are you looking in the right mirror? That’s the question from ‘the law of the mirror. It says that you must see value in yourself to add value to yourself. It is important to believe in yourself, but it is more important to have self worth. This is because we rise to the level of our self worth, not to the level of our belief. A solid self worth allows you to build a foundation for growth and development.’ (J.Maxwell) When you think about your self worth, are you comparing yourself to others, or are you seeing the value within yourself?
