You might be wondering what the secret is?

Is it some Law Of Attraction mumbo-jumbo I’m gonna talk about?

Is it increase your vibration by drinking Lemon water every morning?

While it might be true, but the real lesson. Which we all tend to forget is this, the secret to achieve anything in life, is, 1. Staying Consistent. 2. Having a discipline and a routine and 3. Hustling it out.

Discipline and routine are the two most things many of us talk about. Yet many fail to achieve discipline and establish a routine in their life.

I know we Millenials talk about how routine hinders creativity. But, creativity also works best when the creative is in the flow state. That is achieved by doing it daily.

But, discipline is necessary to achieve your goals. Be it the novel you’re writing or a poetry collection you’re working on. When you do whatever you aim to do every day, day in and day out you grind, you hustle, happens, something clicks.

What this discipline has taught me is that, when you keep going, day in and day you. You hustle and grind it out. When every day you wake up for your dream and work towards it, it will bring results.

The dream will stay a faraway dream. It will never make it to reality. Unless you work on it, everyday.

When you wake up and you start your day, to join the hustle, ready for the war. You announce the world you’re ready to fight.

It will be a pain at the start. But, as you go taking in all the pain and agony, you’ll flourish. You’ll learn everyday things about yourself and your craft and you’ll flourish.

Strict discipline and a routine will allow you to flourish in life.

Consistency is key, that is why discipline plays a big role. No matter how ambitious you’re. How many great ideas you have. But if you don’t work towards achieving your dreams, you don’t grind it out every day. You don’t join the hustle, then it won’t happen.

Whatever you’re working towards in your life. It takes discipline. Waking up on time. Sleeping on time. Eating, drinking, reading and writing, Discipline.

And, the only way to achieve discipline is by being consistent. Your consistency will bring out a new you. Every day, you choose to be disciplined, and you stay consistent.

When you do the same thing day in and out. Your brain subconsciously picks it up. Within days, you get used to that routine, it’ll be easy to get in that flow, to create whatever you want. It’ll be easy to work towards your dreams.

You must choose to be consistent on an everyday basis. When you choose, you make an effort to achieving your dreams. With consistency, you learn things about yourself.

The hustle of it is important. Why’d you think Malcolm Gladwell says, “10,000 hours it takes to master one hobby” it is because when you put in your time and efforts. When you work things out, get inflow. Churn, grind yourself out, you learn and there you grow.

Working on your dream project once a week might not bring you results.

But, work on it every day, taking time out, will bring double-fold results.

But, as humans, we tend to get bored.

We set goals loose focus and forget it. But, we set it too big. Start too big, you’ll end up weak. Start too small you’ll end up with nothing at all.

Set achievable goals. Before I used to focus on quantifying my every goal. Reading 50 pages. Writing 2000 words. Doing this much in a number of this.

But, now as I have a full-time job. I have divided all these things into hours. I read for an hour. I work on my manuscript for an hour. Poetry/short story for an hour. And this blog too.

Thereby I end up doing things I planned while staying consistent.

There is no small or big, it is showing up when you’re supposed to and making the best out of it.

I show up every day and I have gotten results.

In these two months, I have written my novel, finished my poetry collection, read more. By doing only one thing, establishing my routine and following my discipline.

What I learned from my consistency or my journey in discipline is that I get tempted, I lose my focus and focus on unimportant things. Like this article I’m writing now, I’m supposed to work on the manuscript of my novel, which is still in DRAFT ONE. But, I also have this goal to write one short story, one poem, one blog every day, and I’m staying consistent.

I don’t get enough time, living and working in Mumbai, takes 14 hours of my life every day. Still, I choose to come home and work towards my dream.

It has taught me a lot. Nowadays it is easier for me to write, read and get inflow.

This is my third month, I have also started working on my short stories, something that I always wanted to do.
