Why you are struggling with consistency – Part 1
WHY YOU ARE NOT CONSISTENT WITH ANYTHING – Part 1:
Hear this: You can never be successful at anything you are not consistent in!
If you fail to learn the art of consistency, everyone will appear better than you! People who are not as smart as you will do better than you because they are consistent and you’re not!
One of the questions people ask me all the time is: How do I become consistent?
Some months back, I thought deeply about this question and I looked back into my life, especially those times when I struggled with consistency. I discovered my struggles revolved around one thing.
This one thing is the root cause of all my struggles showing up in different forms. Like a tree rooted to the ground, you can’t see the root but you can see the leaves. Femi did a post on this recently.
The leaves are so distracting that if you do not take time to think deep, you will never trace it to the root. And nothing gets solved until the root cause is discovered.
The iron law of the universe suggests that for every effect in our lives, we can always trace it back to a cause(s). So, I traced all the effects of the lack of consistency in my life to a root cause. It was the lack of FOCUS!
Then, I began to study the subject of focus and I realised it was germane to why I was never consistent with anything. I was keen to know more. I was gathering all the principles possible.
The more I learned, the more I practiced what I learned and my life started to change. Gradually, I started to learn the art of focus which in turn led to consistency. Yes, you heard right, FOCUS is an art! You can learn it.
Like I said earlier on, FOCUS is like the root of a tree, it has many branches, leaves and fruits. As a days go by, I will begin to share with you these branches, and the practical things I did.

Looking at my life today, some might assume I was born with a golden spoon in my mouth. They see the progress, the platforms, the opportunities, the impact—and they conclude, “He must have had it all figured out from the start.” But here’s the truth... I wasn’t born with a golden spoon. In fact, I wasn’t even born with a spoon at all. The circumstances surrounding my birth were far from rosy. My beginning was rough, humble, and almost forgettable by the standards of this world. There was nothing to suggest that I would one day stand where I stand today, speak as I speak today, or do what I do today. But I was helped. I was helped by God. That’s the only reason I’ve come this far. And that, dear friend, is why I’m writing this—to remind you that it doesn’t matter where or how you were born . Your background, no matter how limiting or disadvantaged, cannot stop God’s plan for your life. You may not have had the best education. You may have been born into poverty. You may have been rejected, neglected, abandoned or overlooked. But when God steps into your life , He rewrites the story. He is not intimidated by your limitations. In fact, He specializes in using the foolish things of this world to confound the wise. He lifts the poor from the dust and sets them among princes (Psalm 113:7-8). You don’t need a silver spoon, golden spoon, or any spoon at all. All you need is His help . My life is a testament to this truth: God still helps men. He still lifts. He still promotes. He still turns nobodies into wonders. And I believe the same will happen for you. If you will let Him, If you will trust Him, If you will surrender your life to Him… You will become a miracle. You will become a wonder. Your story will be one that generations will talk about. So here’s my charge to you: Stop disqualifying yourself based on your background. Stop underestimating what God can do through you. Stop comparing your journey with someone else’s. Instead, start seeking God’s help. Start walking in faith. Start declaring His promises over your life. Because your story—yes, YOUR story—is not over yet. In fact, it’s just beginning. You are next in line for a miracle. I believe in you!
