Publisher's Synopsis
Sometimes it's not what you do Differently, it's what you do Consistently!"I approached solving my life's problems from many different angles. I used to try to be perfect, not in the literal sense, but coasting right below in that realistic level of high performance. That was my desire. It did not happen though, yet that desire did not die. Ironically, as I fell into deeper adversity, it grew. As I dug for China, I knew the comeback would make the suffering worth it. It's like what Viktor E. Frankl wrote in Man's Search for Meaning, "In some ways suffering ceases to be suffering at the moment it finds a meaning, such as the meaning of a sacrifice." I felt the meaning for my self imposed suffering was the honorable character I would later possess; it had to be." In Consistent, Not Different Dexter takes us through the highlights of his acquired perspective on consistency. Dexter brings us along this journey as he examines consistency while mixing in his personal struggles, fictional stories, deductive insights, and inspiration from a range of selected authors. Dexter was born in Linden, Guyana, grew up in Washington D.C. Dexter spent 16 years in the United States Marine Corps on active duty. Currently, He resides in Oahu Hawaii and goes to Pacific Rim Christian University. Find him on Instagram, @TheDexterousD. Inside Consistent, Not Different Dexter shares things he's learned and his own thoughts on the following topics: Problems, Thinking, Purpose, Relationships, Suicide, Accomplishments, Quality of Life, Safe and Happy (about the brain), and It Takes Time. These nine topics are each covered in their own chapters. The book is well organized and each chapter is divided into subtopics. Also thrown into the mix are stories from his personal life, the fictional stories about Bruce and Kyle, the struggles of his close friends, and chapter 10 "Appendices". The Appendices chapter is loaded with some of Dexter's personal strategies on organization, habit change, motivation, recording and remembering lessons learned, and more. This book is designed so that it does not have to be read successively.
