We all face challenges and crises in our lives, and it's during these times that our personal growth is really put to the test. In this episode, I’m talking about what tools we can employ and what we can think about so that we don’t succumb to that proverbial tornado.

In this episode, I’m talking about the benefits of consistency in our personal and professional lives, things we can do to cultivate consistency and discipline, and some of the things that I struggle with when it comes to discipline.

There are 3 questions I pose in this episode that I’ll invite you to think about - here they are for easy reference:

* How has consistency played a role in your past successes or failures?

* Can you think of a time when being inconsistent held you back from achieving a goal?

* What habits or routines can you adopt to increase consistency in your life?

In this episode, I go on about purpose and meaning, what it is that we need as human beings to be able to understand where we sit in the context of our existence, and some things to think about if you’re struggling with the zeitgeist.
