- Consistency is one of the secrets of all truly successful people. Once you know what works in any area of your life, keep doing it over and over. Imagine a triangle with Consistency on the lower left corner, Persistence on the lower right corner and Omnipotence at the top. When we are consistent in any belief, attitude or behavior, it develops a spirit of Persistence, that empowers you to overcome insurmountable obstacles. What you are consistent in, creates an instinctive ability to keep on keeping on (Persistence). The impossible becomes possible. The complex is made simple and transgressing the difficult becomes an instinctive way of life. Think Consistent...Be Persistent...Do Omnipotence.
