10 Ways I Stay Consistent and Motivated
<p>Over the past 7 years, I’ve programmed almost every day which helped me work at Google, Qualcomm, a startup in San Francisco, launch 5 of my own apps and websites, and now <a href="https://www.twosapp.com/?code=baller" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">start my own company</a>.</p>
<p>Here’s a screenshot of <a href="https://github.com/SanKlein" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">my GitHub history</a> this past year (green means I programmed).</p>

<p>These are the tips that help me stay consistent and motivated:</p>
<h1>1. Believe you are the type of person who is consistent</h1>
<p>Our minds are extremely powerful and we can control and change them.</p>
<p>The first step is to believe you are capable of what you want to do and can be consistent.</p>
<p>I remember when I first learned about the power of our minds from a book called <a href="https://www.twosapp.com/5e965faf6147bd482eb736db" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">“As a Man Thinkth” by James Allen</a>.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>“Your beliefs become your thoughts, Your thoughts become your words, Your words become your actions, Your actions become your habits, Your habits become your values, Your values become your destiny.” — Mahatma Gandhi</p>
</blockquote>
<h1>2. Find your “why”</h1>
<p>Why are you starting? Why will you persist in the face of an obstacle?</p>
<p>Figuring out a reason bigger than yourself will allow you to keep going when times are hard or people are telling you “you’re crazy.”</p>
<p>I did an exercise back in 2017 called <a href="http://www.7levelsdeep.com/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">7 Levels Deep</a>. It helped me find my “why”—to learn about myself, pursue what I love, and inspire people to do the same. It helps me try my best every day.</p>
