035: The Power of Consistency | Warrior Log #5 With Rafa Conde
In this powerful episode Warrior Log #5, Rafa talks about the Power of Consistency. You can have all the discipline and the sheer will power in the world but if you lack consistency you will never master anything.
Consistency in a warrior’s eyes is used to grow and get stronger in mind, body and spirit. It is the only path to mastery.
