Motivation is not enough, consistency matter a lot.

There is nothing wrong with wanting to be successful in life because very few people want to live a life like loser as well as failure. But the fact is that very few people can be successful in life. What makes the difference between people because of what some become successful, and others become failures while the desire of everyone is the same. Actually, it’s not so difficult to understand what makes the difference. It’s motivation and consistent work, as well as disciplined work.

Motivation is something that inspires us to start something new with positive vibes and most of the time people start to do something for the influence of motivation. Motivation can be considered as the spark. Spark can be turned into fire and again it can end up as spark without taking the shape of fire. If there is effort to make the sparks turn into fire it can increase the chances of turning into fire while without consistent effort the chances of taking the shape of fire are very little. Let me explain with a very common example.

Suppose there is a student, and he is not doing well in his studies. For some reason he feels that study is important and he should be serious about his study. Let’s assume the source of his motivation is a friendly discussion with a teacher. He feel that inspiration is enough and started to do study seriously from that night and for the next 3 to 4 days he may remain serious about his study and after that he may forget about the words of his teacher and become idle again slowly, he will be back to the old position and doing good in exam will be remain as a dream. Motivation fades away with time and it’s natural. It can help us to give a good start but leading it to success, motivation is not enough.

Let’s assume that motivation gives a good start like the previous case and the students keep making efforts with consistency. Instead of ending it in 3 or 4 days if the student keeps continuing doing it for several months or years, won’t the output be different? There is no guarantee that the output will be different but there is a maximum possibility of achieving a good result by the end. In this case, motivation also exists like the previous case but the only difference is consistency. In the previous case, the student didn’t maintain consistency, while in this case it was present, and that’s what made the difference.

In this world, nothing is easy. Anyone can be motivated to do anything. Even a short video can also motivate us. If only motivation were enough to make a person successful, then all people would be successful and, in this world, there would not be any failure. Those people who stick to the plan and make efforts with consistency as well as maintain discipline most end up becoming successful.
