Until it doesn’t. Over the year I have heard so many times…”I know what I have to do to (fill in the blank…lose weight, get fit, be stronger.)” And undoubtedly they were correct. It worked once upon a time. It might work again. But the fact is if you know what to do and you aren’t doing it maybe you don’t really know what to do.
Doubling down on a bad strategy is not the way to move
forward. As a matter of fact, it is a recipe for making things worse. Insisting
that the results will be different this time is one definition of insanity. Continuing
on will almost guarantee an even worse outcome.
When new information is presented to you are you open-minded enough to take it in and adjust your strategy? Can you take the new
information and fashion it into a new way of doing old things?
New information happens a lot in our world. The
knowledge base is doubling ever faster now. Once upon a time, we believed the world
was flat and the sun revolved around the earth. We even condemned scholars who
insisted otherwise. Now we know the earth isn’t flat and we adjust our
strategies accordingly.
Isn’t it possible there are new ways to get fit/eat for
health/get stronger? The search for knowledge is a constant and never-ending
journey.
You can always go back if it doesn’t work!
