MORAL OF THE MONTH: CONSISTENCY
Consistency may be one of the most subtle and overlooked virtues, despite its profound impact on success. Simply defined, consistency is steady continuity, an adherence to the same principles or actions in a steadfast way.
With the dedication and reliability it entails, consistency is what helps build us up from birth. Children who grow up surrounded by repeated experiences in a consistent environment have a more solid foundation crucial in developing trust, self-esteem, emotional security, behavior regulation and more. Consistency bears the fruits of its labor over time, which can seem unexciting in a world so full of instant gratification.
However, holding true to the same principles or practice over time makes proficiency and mastery possible. This is how consistency allows for long term progress and success. We put this into practice in our school by having our students commit to 2 classes each week, repeating skills and techniques training and recognizing students’ growth and advancement in our ceremonies.
“Long-term consistency trumps short-term intensity.”
—Bruce Lee
There is truth in the adage “slow and steady wins the race.” Goals should take time and work so that children can see, with regular and consistent effort, there is a positive difference from where they started.
Parents can reinforce these lessons at home by modeling consistency, having some established routines, supporting commitments made, marking small successes and showing ways of recovering from minor setbacks. Children, in turn, are empowered to learn patience, reliability endurance and accountability. With the right consistency in attitude and action, they will be able to achieve success in different areas of their lives.
