Same Mistake?

Now, if you know me personally, you know that I am not the brightest bulb in the tool shed. However, I have a knack for learning from my mistakes early. I don't often repeat the same mistake. If I hit my thumb while swinging a hammer, I quit swinging.I try to learn from others' mistakes, and I try to never repeat mine.

Some folks seem to keep going back and doing the "same mistake" over and over. They will do something they know is wrong, feel bad about it, try to make amends, and, then, go right back and do the exact same thing again. Why?

Today's word is just a thought that says, "You never make the same mistake twice. The second time you make it, it is not a mistake, it is a choice."

We so often find ourselves doing the same things the same way and not understanding why things don't change. The definition of insanity is doing the same things over and over and expecting different results. I like to say, "If you keep doing what you're doing, you're going to keep getting what you're getting." The first time might have been a mistake; the second time is a choice.

So, here's the deal...if you hit your thumb with a hammer - STOP SWINGING THE HAMMER. If you find yourself making the "same mistakes", make a different choice. You may just be surprised at how much that choice will change things, and that's no mistake.

Be Blessed,
