Here’s a truth bomb for you: most people chase intensity and wonder why they crash harder than their Wi-Fi on a Monday morning.
You want results? You don’t sprint before you can walk.
You don’t flex superhuman discipline before you’ve built the habit of showing up.
Consistency before intensity is the secret sauce.
Start small.
Seriously. Tiny. Ridiculously tiny.
Do the thing you’re avoiding for 5 minutes. Track it. Show up tomorrow. And the day after.
Because here’s the kicker: it’s not the big bursts of energy that make someone unstoppable.
It’s the daily tiny victories.
That’s how you build a new identity.
Not by screaming at yourself at 6 AM for doing nothing all week.
Not by overcommitting and feeling like a failure before breakfast.
But by proving, day after day, that you’re the kind of person who shows up.
Someone whose word to themselves actually means something.
Someone who finishes, even when motivation ghosts them.
And yes… the intensity comes later.
Once your consistency muscles are strong, you can crush harder. Push longer. And yes, maybe even scare the people who thought you’d never get it together.
Here’s the lightly savage truth (because someone has to say it):
If you’re skipping the small steps and trying to go nuclear from day one, guess what? You’re auditioning for the Burnout Olympics — gold medal guaranteed.
So start small.
Stack wins.
Become the show-up-every-day version of yourself.
Then and only then… turn the intensity dial up to 11.
Consistency is boring.
Consistency is steady.
Consistency is undefeated.
And nothing — no excuse, no distraction, no fleeting motivation — can beat someone who’s built that identity.
P.S. For those itching for the intensity shortcut: there isn’t one. Sorry. 😉
