CONSISTENCY vs DISCIPLINE: You get what you give, period!

  I’ve been preaching (and practicing) consistency and discipline for years and I’m here again to remind the collective “US” that you don’t get to complain about results you didn’t get for the work or effort you didn’t put in.  You don’t get to do that.  No!
