Consisitency - The reliable path to greatness

Have you ever felt a rush of excitement when you start a new adventure, like kicking off a new game or picking up a new hobby? Cool, right? But, here's a secret from the heroes of faith and the legends in every field: Real learning happens when you stick with something, even when that "new adventure" feeling wears off.

Reverend Areogun once said, "Great people do by commitment, what others do by convenience."

Think about that! The role models you look up to, those who've achieved great things for God and in life, didn't just get there because they're super talented or had it easy. They kept going, working hard, and growing, even when it wasn't exciting or when they felt like giving up.

Want to be an expert in Math or anything else? It's all about making a promise to yourself. Say you decide to tackle Math problems for an hour every day for a whole year. Sounds intense, right? It sure is! Especially on those days when you're truly tired or even on your birthday when you'd rather be doing anything but Math. Yet, those are the days that count the most.

Joe Frazier, a legendary boxer, put it this way: "Champions aren't made in the ring, they are merely recognized there." What he means is, the work you do in the quiet of the morning, the practice you put in when no one's watching, that's what makes you a champion.

Being consistent doesn't mean you're stuck in a boring routine. It means you're adding a little bit more to your journey every single day. It's about getting a bit better, pushing a little further, and sticking with it, even when it's difficult or you're just not feeling it.

Want to know The Bible more this year? Try reading a chapter every day, rather than waiting to read all the Gospels in a weekend. Looking to grow in prayer? Start with 10 minutes each day, not a 7-hour session once a week. Picking up a new instrument? Practice a bit every day, even when you're not in the mood.

The secret to becoming a young hero for God and in life lies in this steady, daily growth. Keep pushing, keep growing, and watch how God uses your consistency to do amazing things in life and eternity!
