Doing It Again and Again

There is something comforting in the word 'consistency'. The dictionary says this:

1. a degree of density, firmness, viscosity, etc. (The liquid has the consistency of cream.)

2. steadfast adherence to the same principles, course, form, etc. (There is consistency in his pattern of behavior.)

3. agreement, harmony, or compatibility, especially correspondence or uniformity among the parts of a complex thing. (consistency of colors throughout the house.)

4. the condition of cohering or holding together and retaining form; solidity or firmness.

 

When I think of 'consistency' I think of:

1. doing the same thing every time
2. the stars and how they're always in the same place in the sky

I'm a creature of habit and do the same things again and again (have the same morning routine, follow recipes, go to the same places, take the same ride). If I want to achieve a goal it doesn't help to do different things - follow one course until successful, right?!
