Good morning and welcome to the Increase Your Impact Podcast. I'm Justin Sua, episode 1,921. I recently read an excerpt. I cannot attribute it to anyone. I do not know who the author is, but I came across it a couple days ago and I can't stop thinking about it. This is it. Quote, an interesting, an interesting paradox of life. The most exciting

outputs come from the most boring inputs. Extraordinary results come from executing ordinary

actions over and over again. It's never going to be sexy. It will be boring. It will take longer than you ever imagined.

But if you accept that, you will win. Close quote. For those who've been listening to this podcast

for a very long time, you know I have said this statement over and over again, two of them.

Little by little, a little becomes a lot.

And the second one is embrace the boredom of consistency.

No matter who the performer is, in whatever domain it is, the best in the world live by these two principles.

They embrace the boredom of consistency and they focus on the power of little by little

because they know that little by little a little becomes a lot.

I love that what it says, the most exciting outputs come from the most boring inputs.

It might feel boring. It might seem like it's going to take a long

time. There are going to be moments where you feel like you're putting in all of your work, yet you're

not seeing the results. And even more frustrating, you might look to your left or look to your right

and see that other people are experiencing the outputs or the

results that you are dreaming of. And you might be thinking to yourself, they're not working as hard as I am.

Or they don't want it as bad as I do. Yet they're getting the results that I want. It's a trap to fall

into this kind of mindset. Continue to put your eyes in front of you and focus on your

own path, focus on your own journey, and keep executing those tiny little actions every single day,

even though it's boring, even though it's taking a long time,

which is incredibly important why you have a purpose for what you do, have a vision for

where you're going, and to enjoy the journey. Sometimes the journey is going to be a lot more
