8.27 Chris Paul: Keep Stacking Days

"Just keep stacking days. As long as you keep stacking days, I promise you will see the change.” - Chris Paul

Do you want to know how to get better or find success?

Stack days.

Consistency is either the thing that pushes athletes past walls, obstacles, or barriers, or the thing that keeps them stuck.

Despite not being very tall at all, Chris Paul is one of the best point guards to ever play basketball. He once said, “Just keep stacking days. As long as you keep stacking days, I promise you will see the change.”

I see too many athletes — too many people — quit too soon because things don’t go their way immediately.

I’ve also seen athletes who were the worst on the team become the best because they consistently worked on their games.

Like Paul said, they kept stacking days and change came. He also said one of his coaches told him, “Everything you want is on the other side of hard,” and, “Reps remove doubt.”

Getting better and having confidence is simple: Find something you want to get better or more confident at, create a plan, then consistently keep stacking days.

Don’t stop because it gets hard, don’t let distractions stop you, and don’t let a lack of patience stop you either. Greatness takes time.

Keep stacking days.

Question of the Day: What is something you want to get better at and how can you consistently keep stacking days?
