Consistency is one of those challenges of life that just cannot be overrated. The possession of it or lack of it provides a panoramic view of character at the core. There is no way to hide it or fake it...either you are or you aren't. I can usually deceive myself but I doubt that others who are observing my life are fooled by my charade.
I like to be around people who are consistent. I don't mean to the point of being boring. I am not looking to hang out with "in the box" people but I do want to know that the friends I choose are the same person every time we talk and are not schizophrenics. There ought to be some things you can count on in a friendship that just do not vacillate. People can be consistent and creative, impulsive and fun.
Consistency is something that communicates values based on a principled life not circumstances or feelings. People who are consistent usually have time for others, care about people and encourage others to be better by their example. They do not have to go around announcing that they are consistent, godly or wonderful, it is very obvious just as the contrary is.
These are just some musing that I have for today. Any thoughts?
