Consistency

I want to be consistently consistent,
unwavering in the storm yet steadfastly alert in the calm.
How will I face failure? How will I face success?
Depending on the response, neither is mutually exclusive.

I want to be consistently content,
lest these hills and valleys lead me to flat-line.
How much is too much? How much is not enough?
On a tightrope they balance, resisting both complacency and overreaction.

I want to be consistently consistent,
but it does not seem to be within my power.
What is my foundation? Where do I find strength?
Change is unavoidable, but it is hope that proves unchanging.
