Shorts | Consistency Won’t Make You Successful—Here’s What Will!

Is consistency really the key to success? In this Shorts episode of Living the Tao (2-21), Taoist Master Mikel Steenrod examines one of the most common ideas in modern self-improvement—and challenges it from a Taoist perspective. Through a discussion on repetition, flexibility, and human behavior, this episode explores: The limits of discipline when it becomes mechanical The importance of adaptability in achieving meaningful outcomes The philosophical contrast between structure and responsiveness And the deeper question of what success actually means Blending practical insight with classical Taoist thought, this episode offers a different way of looking at progress, effort, and purpose.
