Human beings are creatures of habit. We do what we know, what is comfortable and what we ‘think” will work. There are, however, those occasions when “our” way is not “the” way to get us to the goal. When your way doesn’t work, don’t be disheartened. You must be willing to try another way. Don’t be discouraged when someone says, “no.” Be willing to ask someone else. Always be willing to start at the bottom. Being willing does not mean you will stay there. A closed door does not mean you have been cut off permanently. It is a challenge, an obstacle, a tool to be used. The keys to all doors are within you. If you have faith in yourself, practice and patience will make you a master locksmith.
I’m often amazed when I find myself engaging in the same behavior or thought patterns time after time, year after year and then realizing that it isn’t working. Why do we continue to engage in behaviors and thought patterns even though we’re experiencing anxiety, communication breakdowns, anger, depression? Sometimes we even experience physical problems related to poor living habits or abusing our bodies (overload of sugar, fats, etc.) that we continue to engage in even though we know it’s bad for us. We must be willing to try another way. Re-frame our thinking and establish new strategies and new ways of living.
