Last year nothing happened / The year before nothing happened / And the year before that nothing happened.

(On Ricky asking him to do a diary next year)No I wouldn't, you know, cos you do the same stuff ever year don't ya? It's set up the same way: January, February it's the same thing, it's the same routine

successful positioning requires consistency. You must keep at it year after year.

In order to achieve great things in your life, you have to be consistent in what you are doing.

“If you don’t have a consistent goal in life, you can’t live it in a consistent way.” (Hays translation)

It is a good idea to start the year by writing down exactly what you want to accomplish, and end the year by measuring how much you have accomplished. McKinsey imposes this discipline on its partners and pays them according to how many of the things on their lists they accomplish.

Being consistent is WAY less interesting than being yourself. And if you're not interesting? Good luck with your Big Consistency Project.

In theory, consistency is about being disciplined, determined, and unwavering.

In practice, consistency is about being adaptable. Don't have much time? Scale it down. Don't have much energy? Do the easy version. Find different ways to show up depending on the circumstances. Let your habits change shape to meet the demands of the day.

Adaptability is the way of consistency.

There are only two days in the year that nothing can be done. One is called Yesterday and the other is called Tomorrow. Today is the right day to Love, Believe, Do and mostly Live.

If you repeated what you did today 365 more times, will you be where you want to be next year?

The end of an unclouded day. Almost a happy one. Just one of the 3,653 days of his sentence, from bell to bell. The extra three were for leap years.

I would have thee know that every day is a year contracted, that every year is a day extended. Anticipate the year in the day and lose not a day in the year. Make use of indeterminate agents till thou canst find a determinate one. The many may wish well but one only loves. Circumferences spread but centres contract: so superiors dissolve and inferiors coagulate. Stand not long in the sun nor long in the shade. Where extremes meet, there look for complexions.

Recipe for greatness: Become just a teeny bit better than you were last year. Repeat every year.

Staying in control daily, weekly, & yearly requires different things for each. Handling one doesn't handle the others.
