Consistency Pays off

We are in our favorite place in the world.

Our house in the high desert has 12 1/2 acres. The environment is dry, sunny, warm. The soothing smell of the sage puts us in a relaxed mood and also opens up the creative channels.

When we are at home break times consist of going out to the back deck and sit outside away from the computer screen. When we are here in Redmond it consists of grabbing a 9 or for me an 8 iron, heading out to our "shooting platform", grabbing a few golf balls out of the bucket and shooting for the round pen in the back pasture. Very good way to clear the brain out.

So I am working but watching Gordon taking his break outside on the "shooting platform", doing what he does to enjoy himself. He has no idea he is being watched, he's just doing his thing.

I notice each time he does the same thing, consistently. He picks up a ball places it on the mat, adjusts his grip, puts the club head down next to the ball, focuses and twitches a few times and then he pulls the trigger nice and smooth. Ends his swing with his navel to the ball and he gets the results he was looking for, BULLS EYE right into the round pen. He would have landed the green for sure.

To get those positive results he was consistent each time with what he did. If he missed it a bit, he adjusted and tweaked what he thought would work until I was watching him time after time hit his mark. He didn't give up when he missed a few times, he just fixed a few things and tried again.

That's what makes him the person that he is. He is a Leader, a consistent, patient person who knows what it takes to succeed. His mind set is that he can accomplish anything that he puts his mind to because he will consistenly set about to do what he knows needs to be done to get to where he wants to be. He "works backwards" meaning that he knows what he wants so from there he works backwards to where he is and figures out steps along the way that will get him to what he wants, consistently adjusting and moving forward all along the way, until BULLS EYE happens because he KNOWS it will.
