Try Something Different
by Steve Goodier
Keep doing the same thing and you will keep getting the same results.
Two men were avid moose hunters. Every year they chartered a plane to
take them to the Canadian back country. This year hunting was
especially good and in a few days they each bagged a moose. They
radioed for their pilot to come pick them up.
When the plane arrived, the pilot took one look at the animals and
told the hunters they could not take such a heavy load along.
"But we spent all week hunting for these moose," they protested. "And
besides, the pilot we hired last year wasn't worried about the
moose's weight."
After much argument, the pilot finally relented and allowed them to
load the moose. The heavy plane was only airborne for a few
minutes when it lost altitude and crashed into the side of a
mountain.
As the men struggled out of the wreckage, one hunter asked, "Where
are we?"
His friend answered, "About a mile farther than we got last year."
Keep doing the same thing and you will keep getting the same results.
It is true of flying and it is true of living.
What is not working well for you? A habit you are trying to break? A
relationship with a parent or spouse or child or friend? What is a
source of on-going frustration? Getting around to that project you
keep promising to complete? Never having enough money to pay the
bills? Running up against the same old walls at work?
The truth is, if you keep doing the same things you will keep getting
the same results. So, if you don't like the way things are turning
out, something must change. Are you ready to try something different?
