Same ol’ tree

When you keep doing what you’ve always done and keep getting the same, erm, suboptimal results, it’s not insanity that makes you do it, it’s habit.

Looking down whilst following your own footsteps around and around the same ol’ tree.

When you’re used to spending your time one way, even if it doesn’t work as well as you’d like, you’ll probably keep on doing it as long as it kinda sorta mostly works.

Is it fear that keeps us here? Fear that the new way will be worse than the old way, and we’ll have to go through a heap of pain before we find out.

It’s a choice. Doing what you know without thought, or the potential for upside in what you don’t know.

It’s a choice. Continued, bankable, suboptimal results, or a walk towards another tree that might be on the path.
