"If you always do what you've alway done, you'll always be what you've always been"...


Came across this quote many years ago and on many occasions it has made me think about the kind of life I want to live and the kind of person I want to be.


It certainly changed the way I think about life and I can honestly say, as a result, I have one of the most interesting lives of anyone I know.

How true! I've always learnt from my mistakes and seldom ever make the sames again. Can't understand why people don't learn from their mistakes?

True...sometime we need reminders..lol

Some things are best to keep the same to have stability and then I would always want to do things that way if it works in my life. Other things that don't work I would want to change and if that change works I would want to keep it.

Life is like a ten-speed bike. Most of us have gears we never use.

-Charles M. Schultz



The true measure of an individual is how he treats a person who can do him absolutely no good.
- Ann Landers

Always admired this quality!

If you continually put the same thing in, you will get the same thing out....

Case in point...if you put chocolate ice cream and milk in the blender.....turn it on and let it run for a bit.....you've got a chocolate shake....every single time...it will never turn out to be a strawberry shake.....

"If you always do what you've always done, you'll always be what you've always been"...

~~~

This is true
but if you change
be careful what you do
you *will* become
whatever you've done
so be sure you have a clue

Change for change alone
is not the wisest thing to do
keep in mind
this thing you change
will in the end be you

Very true Abra

...And I guess we have to ask ourselves if we are happy with the person we've become?

BTW, there's nothing more permanent than change. But in every situation, we have choices either to grow or be in denial.

People in denial never change and they'll always be what they've always been!
