"Insanity - Doing the same thing over and over again but expecting a different result each time."
I read this quote and it made me think about what it is I'm trying to do. There are several situations that are and have been causing me a lot of distress. So instead of reacting to them in the same way, in a way that has felt natural to me, I'm trying to react differently.
I don't know that these new ways of handling things is really in my best interest or really "better" then how I was handling them before. Part of me fears, because it feels so unnatural, that it can't be a better way. But I feel like I have to try.
I don't want to insanely do the same things over and over again and wonder why the situations still bring me so much unhappiness.
To anyone who may be concerned: I'm not talking about changing the way I do things from sticking to the Bible to doing something unscriptual.
This is a good thought. I've read that quote before. I think it is good to try new things, especially if what you're doing isn't working. I wish you all the best in your efforts. ^_^
ReplyDeleteThanks! It can be frustrating when you don't know if a new way of doing things will bring better results. I always feel better about a course of action when I know of others that are doing what I'm about to try and they've found success. But some situations people just don't talk about and you can't make out how they are handling things just from observation. So you don't know what they are doing and if it is making them happy. So I'm fumbling in the dark, but maybe I'll see light soon. :)
