Consistency and commitment

The consistent person does the things in the same way. Tells the same story. Buys at the same store. Doesn’t rethink often. Knows why he does what he does.

The committed person goes for it. Wants more. Demands intense. Devotes energy. Time. Space.

But often commitment comes at a price. Being not committed with something else. Because energy, time and space are limited resources. And then the commitment slowly starts to crumble and finally the focus shifts.

We often ask for commitment, when we look for relationships. People who know what they want and tell us they will time and energy.

Rarely we require consistency. People who show that when they choose something, they will overcome setbacks simply because they know it’s the only thing to do.

But isn’t the more interesting thing to do, if we really have to choose, to search for consistent people, rather than committed people?
