New Path — or — An Old Path Anew?
Am I embarking on a new path or just living the definition of insanity?
This quote is attributed to Albert Einstein:
“Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”
Whether or not Einstein did in fact say this, the point is valid. How else can you explain trying the same thing again and again — with little to no change — and expecting the result to change?
This is not the notion of seeking the difference between variables in an experiment to get data. This is making a choice that you know has failed before — but expecting it not to fail this time. The results will only change if you have learned from past mistakes and don’t do the same thing again.
This is where I am currently. Both working to do some new things while striving to avoid my past mistakes — hopefully having learned from them — to get different results.
What have I been doing?
In March of 2019 I lost the part-time job I really liked and THOUGHT I was good at. Rather than lament this loss, I chose this time to push to advance my dream of writing full time.
