You Are Consistent – The Real Question Is How

In this powerful and transparent episode of Shark Theory, Baylor Barbee celebrates 200 straight days of walking 10,000 steps—but the real story isn't about fitness. It’s about what consistency really means. After a conversation with friend and mindset expert Kyle Draper, Baylor unpacks the hidden truth behind why most people stay stuck: it's not a lack of ability—it's fear, perfectionism, or failing to take the first step without knowing the full path.

Baylor reminds us that we’re all consistent—just not always in the right direction. Whether you're evolving toward your goals or drifting from them, your habits are shaping your future. With personal examples from his podcast journey and real-life coaching calls, this episode redefines consistency, shifting it from a task to an identity.

Key Takeaways:

• Consistency Isn't Optional: You're already consistent—what matters is whether you're consistent in the habits that build the life you want or the ones that hold you back.

• Start Before You Know the Path: You don’t need to see the full picture to begin. Clarity comes from movement, not contemplation.

• Reevaluate Your Goals Honestly: If you no longer want something, let it go. But if you're stuck because you can't see how it ends, commit to the first step anyway.

• Make It Part of Who You Are: The goal isn't to keep things on a to-do list forever. When habits become identity, success becomes second nature.

• Your Evolution is Constant: Whether forward or backward, you're always changing. Make sure your evolution is intentional.
