We have perhaps all heard the saying, “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.” However, we rarely think about it in terms of our approach to the situations we encounter. All too often, we do the same things over and over again in a particular situation, but don’t understand why we get the same results again and again.

If you want a different result, you need to act or respond differently than you have before. However, to do so, it may mean that you need to go outside your comfort zone and step beyond what is familiar and predictable. But making such a change takes courage: as well as conviction in what you are working towards, along with a certain amount of faith and self-confidence.

Creating your own opportunity is not easy, but it will show you what you are made of.

 

Throughout the day, we invite you to revisit this quote. Below are a few questions you may wish to ask yourself, and those who journal may find them especially useful:

• What is a situation I am dealing with for which I would like a different outcome than I have had before?
• How might I deal with that situation differently than I have in the past?
• How might I be able to create my own opportunity?

 

 

Best wishes and have a great day!!
