“Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” ~ Albert Einstein

Good Morning!

I have found that most women greet positive change with open arms when given the proper tools.  Yet there are some people who just can’t commit to a new approach.  They waiver in their efforts and eventually go back to old, destructive patterns, and become frustrated when they don’t realize the changes they desire in their lives.

Einstein is right – doing the same thing over and over and expecting the result to be different is insanity.  Imagine typing two-plus-two into you calculator over and over and over again.  Do you think it would magically equal six at some point?  Of course not: That would be insane.  But that is what many of us do in our lives.  We want a different result – but we don’t modify our actions or our attitude.  We might want a more fulfilling relationship, but we don’t change how we communicate.  We might want a more rewarding career, but we don’t change our efforts.   We might want to be healthier, but we don’t change our unhealthy routines.  To think we will reach our desired outcome without doing some work and changing our approach is insanity.

We have to learn to think of change and personal involvement as fun!  It is a chance to think outside the box, try new things, live a richer life, ask good questions, and discover new truths.

Your Turn:  Where in your life have you been desiring change without modifying your action or attitude?  Pick one area and make a behavior modification that you can stick with.

Today’s Affirmation:  Change is the chance to challenge and improve my life.
