Why spend your time pounding, when you could be rethinking and innovating?

How many times have you found yourself continually pursuing an identical pathway to that which has already proven itself ineffective? 

We are so quick to find our solutions, and then readily ascribe to them when, in reality, there is substantial supporting evidence to preclude us from continuing down that particular avenue.

When we are fixated on accomplishing something, we often times find ourselves caught in a quagmire of our own making by presuming that given that we know the solution, that therefore, that must be the solution, and we continuously focus our efforts down the exact same pathway, regardless of the apparent lack of success. 

In many cases, the reality is that there are alternate solutions that are considerably more effective and more opportune, if we are willing to dismiss our initial prejudice that precludes our ability to see these things. 

When we awaken to the full world of possibility, we are that much more empowered to succeed. 

So often, when our vision is so supposedly crystal clear, we believe we are more opportune to stay the course, than if we were to potentially derivate. 

But in life, sometimes the shortest distance between two points is not a line at all. Sometimes it is a curvaceous pathway of options and choices, some of which are valuable, and others which may prove to be fruitless. 

Collectively, in the course of our trying to discern the distinction between the two, we ourselves, are evolving in the process. This particular evolution gives way to our greater success by virtue of our own ability to recognize some of the myriad mistakes we have made along the way combined with our having the mental acuity to correct those mistakes as might be required. 

There are countless times where we are far more desirous of pounding on the wall, then finding the doorway. But, the older we get, the more we recognize that the doorway was always the solution, and that the wall was always a wall. 

Happy Sunday!
