1. Identity
   Most of the time, you never have to make note of the things you are doing on daily basis. It is a part of you and you know that completing this or that is not going to be a problem for you. The only reason is that it has become a part of you by doing it consistently. What you do become a part of you after shifting from a line on your to-do list.

2. Skill Level
   Playing badminton with my seniors had never been a great experience for me. Watching myself struggling while reading the shots and also missing on the coordination side. Though I was sharp enough to beat them in different ways of life i.e. fitness, knowledge but skill part is what was missing the most while playing badminton. I am not discussing the absorption rate here i.e. the IQ but the consistency of doing what is required again n again.

“When we go through some struggle to learn a new instrument, learn a new language, learn a new behavior, we then forge a new neural pathway. The more we work on that new behavior and move through discomfort, the myelination process occurs. Think about an electrical wire that has a coating on it. Myelin takes that new behavior and neural pathway and takes it from dial-up to broadband”- Christine Comaford

After 3 months now I am more confident and I see much improvement in my game which has also been recognized by the senior players. So by playing consistently and not skipping, I have achieved the skill level required to be a part of the group.

1. Perfection Discipline
   One thing you need to understand without a single doubt in your mind is that you are not superman or wonder woman. What I am trying to say here that there are chances of missing a thing or doing things badly or going against as planned but that doesn’t mean that you stop trying and leave it as it is. This is the point that is going to create the difference between success and failure. There are ups and downs in life, count them a part of your journey and keep traveling. Keep your momentum, be consistent and let the life bring opportunities in your lap.

If I take a look back and summarize my life, I am going to conclude that the difference I have made and those who didn’t make around me, the only point to count is Consistency.
