¦ Consistently show up on time. ¦ Consistently deliver excellent work. ¦ Consistently meet or exceed quota. ¦ Consistently invest your money wisely. ¦ Consistently honor your product promises. ¦ Consistently work out and eat the right foods. ¦ Consistently pursue your passion and purpose. ¦ Consistently tell the truth and do the right thing. ¦ Consistently follow through on your commitments. ¦ Consistently go the extra mile for your customers. ¦ Consistently acknowledge the good work of others. ¦ Consistently make everything you say, think, and do count. ¦ Consistently take action, and demonstrate personal accountability. Consistency is great for many reasons, but the most important reason is because people like predictability-not surprises. Family, friends, coworkers, and customers feel comfortable when they can rely on you to do exactly what they think you will do and have done in the past. We have a strong preference for consistency and dependability in our lives. We want things to work the same way every time they happen. When we wake up in the morning, we want to find the floor under our feet, the sun above our heads, and coffee in our cups. Just as we expect these kinds of physical consistencies and dependabilitys, we also expect their psychological attributes. If we had marriages, families, and jobs yesterday, we expect to find them today in pretty much the same condition. Thus, we have mental worlds of our expectancies about the world and the people in them that define our relationships. The glue that holds all of these mental relationships together is consistency-Old Faithful. Why should we expect our spouses to love us tomorrow? Because that behavior is consistent with their behavior today.
