The Man in the Mirror

"Insanity is doing the same things over and over expecting different results."   -Unknown

If we are honest with ourselves, we have all done this before.  Some of us, many times.  Somehow we falsely believe if we just keep trying the same things with a sincere heart, someone or something from who knows where will come rescue us from our plight; that plight could be finances, your relationship with your spouse, raising kids, etc.  Ten or twenty years later, we realize that that someone or something never appeared and the only one left to blame is the man in the mirror.  It is at this point that desperation sets in because we realize our life is half gone and we are stuck here for the other half.  You are unless you do the following.  Stop doing the things that got you where you are at.  Realize that those practices have not helped you.  Doing the same thing over and over will never result in a different answer.  Two plus Two will always equal Four.  Why not look at people who are successful in the area you wish to succeed at and follow their pattern.  If I want to be financially secure, don't look at the guy filing for bankruptcy.  If you want to have a happy marriage, don't look at the guy who has been divorced three times. And if you want a different life than what you have experienced up to now, don't look at the man in the mirror; he's not done it up til now.  I don't say that sarcastically but carefully.  Remember, "Insanity is doing the same things over and over expecting a different result."
