#415: Deja Vu (Friday, December 12)

Doing the same thing repeatedly with the expectation of different results is the definition of insanity.

There is some debate about who originally said the words above, but no one can argue with the sentiment. When you find yourself in the same situation multiple times, it must be due to either insanity or stupidity.

I like to think that we find ourselves in the same situation because there is a lesson to be learned. Some blind spot or weakness that is making you unable to move forward until you get the message.

This week's action: Think of an unfavorable situation that you often find yourself in (constantly broke, can't keep a job, relationships consistently failing for the same reason, etc.) Find the lesson.
