24 - Cultivating Daily Convergence

Reading about someone else’s story, their valiant efforts, their failures and successes is amazing. It can be just the inspiration we need to encourage us to dive in ourselves to begin to take steps towards our own dreams and goals.

We could fill endless amounts of time consuming books, podcasts, YouTube videos, and social media pages where so many stories are open for consumption.

It is fine to consume for a season, but eventually, if we want to create, we have to move into a season of production. 

We have to be intentional to create, especially when there are endless distractions.

I’m not telling you anything you don’t likely already know.

However, the ‘knowing’ to do something doesn’t always translate to the ‘doing’ of something either.

We are often held back by ourselves in one form or another. Sometimes through confusion, self-doubt, comparison, second-guessing, or misaligned priorities. This list could get long, so I’ll stop with those few as examples.

In fact, there is so much good writing and media to consume that truly has the breakthrough language and insights to get you from ‘point a to point b’ - the full realization of your dream. And yet, here we often sit, still not fully walking in what we’d hope to be.

Sometimes we think of the word ‘convergence’ as an occasional phenomena in our lives where everything seems to come together.

The truth is we can choose convergence everyday through our actions.

Our choice to prioritize the goals in front of us, then the act of doing the work towards them, and the act of choosing it again and again and again until our “thing” reaches completion.

I can’t tell you the amount of time I’ve spent looking for the secret formula, reading books from the greats, and just trying to figure out the recipe for the secret sauce of success.

I’ve found more traction in the seemingly mundane choice of consistent action each and every day. Consistent action doesn’t seem particularly earth shattering, yet it led to the completion of my self-published book, my guided journal, my Bachelor of Psychology degree, my real estate license, and so on and so forth. 

These aren’t flashy accomplishments, but they’re proof that consistent action works. And if I look at your life, I’d bet the same thread is there—consistency carrying you through to the finish line.

So if you find yourself once again, on the unfinished side of your goal or dream, not quite there yet, but desperately wanting to be, consistent action is your friend, waiting to be met once again.
