Do Something Different Today
If you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you’ve always got.
I don’t know who originally wrote this but I think I read it on a blog, probably a few years ago now. We all moan about things like lack of money, poor behaviour of children or our lack of success at X but often rather than changing our behaviour to achieve a different outcome we blindly do the same things and then wonder why we aren’t making progress.
