Not the outcome you wanted

If you are not happy with the outcome of something, instead of looking for something or someone to blame, look at your input.

If we keep putting in the same we will get the same thing out.

New outcomes do not happen immediately.

However, they only come when we are willing to do things differently.

Doing things differently isn’t like flicking a switch, it means being committed to changing habits. That is a process of taking small daily steps and being prepared to put in the hard work to commit long enough for the new habit to form.

The hard work reaps reward and suddenly your life is full of outcomes you wanted.

What new outcomes do you want to start working on?

Curiosity may have killed the cat

The trouble with ‘this is how it’s done’ is it might not have worked or it works for a few but not all.

Often it works only for the people who tell us that’s how the world should be.

So by default, we more often look to see how something has always been done.

It is like a comfort blanket for the same results.

Instead of always looking in the rearview mirror to see what’s been done, we could look forward to see if we can do something different, something new. Then we can rightly expect some different outcomes and continue to test and try again.

That is exactly what took the human race from the plains of Africa to where we are now.

What has happened now is the mass world has made everything average, most people are merely cogs in the machine unlikely to question, as much of the human race are brainwashed into believing ‘this is how it’s done’ is the only way.

Curiosity might have killed the cat but always doing the same will kill the human race.
