One quality to make your life more purposeful
A key I learnt to make my life more productive and progressive
I have been a ‘jack of all, master of none’ in the last couple of years. Doing a monotonous 9–5 job hasn’t always been my cup of tea.
Long story short — I have worked in IT for 9 years as a Data Engineer, a part-time Zumba instructor, a Toastmaster, an aspiring speaker, an amateur food blogger and recently started writing on medium.
This isn’t to brag my skills but to showcase multiple facets of my personality. Out of all my ventures, I believe ‘Consistency’ is one such quality that has helped me to lead a more disciplined and productive life.
Consistency is a process of carrying a task persistently with dedication and commitment to attain exemplary results.
Generally, the humans tend to start new ventures, invest their money but very few people make it towards the end.
Have you ever pondered on these questions?
Why have I enrolled myself to an online course paying $40? Why have I joined Medium paying $5 each month? Why have I registered myself to a gym paying $X amount? Why am I investing $X amount in stocks?
I do that frequently; and feel that investing in yourself and gaining fruitful results is possible only through consist commitment towards that task.
My own experience of entering into Toastmasters two years back and consistently pursuing it has helped me in re-shaping my leadership and communication skills professionally.
I’ve joined Medium to not only read articles by others but also contribute and pen down my thoughts and gradually earn an income. I never dreamed in my life that I could write. Writer’s block, impostor syndrome and what not crashes my mind daily. But, I start fresh everyday and stride to write my best writing piece ever.
And the day I realized that to hone my speaking skills, I need to put my sweat on my writing and reading, there has been no looking back. I write consistently, re-write and carry my writing hustle.
I feel that mediocrity has no room if you aspire to leave your footprints in any field you pursue; And that is attainable only through your consistency and commitment towards that task.
Carrying out a venture with half mind and heart will bring half-baked results.
