Consistency.
It’s one of the most powerful forces in life. It’s how routines are built, how families grow, and how legacies are formed. It’s showing up, day after day, doing the same task over and over again—even when it’s hard, even when you’re tired, even when the circumstances aren’t ideal.
For me, this truth really took root when we got our first milk cow. Keeping dairy animals is a little crazy. There are no days off. Sick as a dog and up all night? The cows still need to be milked. Want to take a vacation, attend a wedding, or go camping? You better train someone to help, because the cows need to be milked. Every single day.
At first, I thought milking would just be another chore, but over time, it became more. There’s something bigger that grew in me from that daily rhythm. It grounds me, builds me, and reminds me of the truth found in Galatians 6:9: “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”
Greatness isn’t found in one big, grand moment. It’s found in the repetition of small, everyday tasks—done with care and commitment. Consistency is the path to anything you want to see happen in your life.
Sometimes, consistency looks like milking cows. Other times, it looks like doing the dishes again, folding the laundry for the tenth time this week, or picking up toys that will just be scattered again tomorrow. These may seem like small, unimportant tasks, but they build the foundation for a strong, thriving home.
Whether you’re trying to build a business, strengthen your family, or create peace in your life, you do it by showing up. Not once in a while, but every single day. Even when it’s uncomfortable. Even when it’s hard.
Think about the legacy you could create if you simply committed to showing up. For your health. For your family. For your dreams.
What is your version of “milking cows”? What can you commit to doing, day in and day out, to build something truly remarkable?
It doesn’t have to be perfect. It just has to be done. And as you keep showing up, that routine will turn into a rhythm, and that rhythm will build your legacy.
Here’s to consistency. Here’s to building something incredible.
With gratitude and purpose,
