Insane Expectations

TODAY'S QUOTE:

Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Albert Einstein, (attributed)US (German-born) physicist (1879 - 1955)

Well, by Einstien's standards for insanity I have been a lunatic several times over during my lifetime, but not as often lately. Each of us must fight the urge to be predictable and wrestling against repeating mistakes is a good place to begin that exercise.

Trying another avenue takes a person through new landscape, dotted with possibilities for things not reachable any other way. A life with a healthy portion of unpredictable adventure seems much better than one littered with predictable repetitive action and reaction.

If I wander into the asylum I hope it is a much more interesting trip than from simply taking the same backward steps over and over. But I would much rather stay sane by being unpredictable enough to try new things, risking new mistakes. And flexible enough to hazard new solutions for old issues.

THINK ABOUT IT

LET IT GROW

THEN DECIDE
