Consistency is a human value that's fuelled by the desire to succeed or achieve a certain goal. However, we tend to differently define it.
Whichever way we choose to define it, the truth is that the end game is always results, reaching a milestone, and getting to a particular figure. While working 9 to 5, I discovered that my colleagues at work were always more active at the beginning of the month or the ending of the month.
Why is this? Firstly the beginning of the month is when one's salary is still active, this is when you're buying groceries, spending money on debts, paying the electricity bills and so many things.
However, even if you're bemoaning the fact that you're spending too much, you'll still be active at work because you know you're getting things done with the salary you've gotten for working throughout the month.
Now, these same people are always active towards the end of the month and this is because this is when salaries are paid out, now, even if salaries haven't come yet, the joy of counting down brings a sort of extra energy when working.
However, this is different in the middle of the month when the salaries have run out and it's hard to create that external motivation to continue being consistent.
This only implies that we need monetary Incentives/motivation to be tailored towards the right consistency. It's quite absurd when people think they don't need the motivation to be consistent. A hungry person cannot create a million-dollar concept that'll change the world.
One thing we must understand is that human life is causal, we measure things in proportion and when we cannot create a certain balance then there's a problem. Since passion is not fueled by money, we constantly need to stay at a certain level of consistency to bring out the best from us.
Psychologically even when we're not making money, seeing positive signs that the future might be bright, is a motivation on its own, and this is why we cannot deride people who are sworn to money alone.
One of the things we must never run out of is motivation. Let me tell you, we're all content creators in life, this isn't even about the blockchain or Hive in general.
Every day of a man's life, we're expected to give off a little essence in exchange for money to continue the process of thriving and survival. The only difference is that some people get to a particular stage in life and they don't give off the same as they used to, 20 years ago.
Since they've now attained diminishing returns, being consistently productive for a long time certainly decreases our level our output while increasing the input over a long time, this is proven through pension/gratuity and increased income.
A person who is employed in an organization is expected to bring innovations to move the organization forward.
This means that whatever service we're rendering is expected to fulfill a particular need and when we do so, we're paid money. However, we need to be productive to a certain extent to attract interest, this interest is what eventually raises one's value.
The people whose consistency is deemed to be more monetarily or non-monetarily productive, are the ones who enjoy constant promotion and a gigantic leap in the increments of salaries.
Buy Why?
This simply translates to the fact that we need don't just need consistency in life, we need productivity consistency, one that's tailored to achieve results. We can run out of juice, especially because we're humans and we hit a decline each passing day.
It's okay to see your consistency wanning and this is because we're never the same as we used to be. Nevertheless, what we mustn't run out of is the motivation to go on. Being rightly motivated is an aspect of personal finance that helps one create the need for deferred pleasure.
