Dear YB:
Sometimes, when I get a new job to do, after doing it the first few times, I get the "it's exciting, it's something new to do" feeling. But soon, that same job that was so exciting and so new, a few weeks ago, doesn't feel all that exciting and new any more, and I begin to fail to do that job consistently like I used to do.
When you get a job to do-like taking out the trash-you must be consistent in doing it. Sometimes, you might get tired and weary, and sometimes you may not feel like doing it at all, but you must do it inspite of your feelings, because once you do it, you will feel better. Remember, good feelings hardly ever come before positive action; but good feelings almost always come after positive action.
God and our parents want us to be consistent so that they can depend on us to do bigger things in the future. Besides, they want to be able to reward us for good behavior. God likes to reward His children, and parents like to reward their children. Sometimes, I have even missed out on rewards because of not being consistent in a job that was entrusted to me.
Being consistent is very important, especially if we want people to be able to depend on us to carry bigger responsibilities in the future.
Consistency Matters,
Daniel IV
