Insanity
Today while driving something I heard on a TV show sparked a long thought. I should mention that I was driving alone, with no children and in silence....A magical thing :)
I have heard it before but for some reason last night it really stuck with me. The quote from the show was something like this "Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result is the true definition of insanity."
I do many things the same way and some-how I am stunned when the result is the same. INSANE right? In the past six months or so I have really changed up a lot. I took a deep hard look at the results of my efforts; my efforts in my home-life, work-life, health and overall happiness. To my surprise (shockingly) when I changed my approach everything changed.
So back to my thought from this morning...Why do we always approach things the same way? There are ton's of sayings that come to mind...
"You can lead a horse to water but you can't make them drink"
"You can't wake the dead"
"Fool me once, shame on you; Fool me twice, shame on me."
Fast forward to now...I changed it up. I took control of what needed to change and although it was hard and WAY outside of what I consider comfortable I did it. I am not perfect at all but for the first time in a LONG time I feel an actual change that has taken place.
So while driving I just couldn't stop thinking about this and all these changes have proven to be successful and worth it...Maybe I should do this more often?
