Same Thing Different Results
August 21, 2009 by: Rebecca Cheng
Same Thing Different Results is what we hope to gain. It’s like boiling pasta will not yield rice.
Albert Einstein said, “Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”
So if we want rice, we need to put rice in the pot. So, if we want to make things happen we cannot afford to think of the impossible, the defeat, the fear or the doubt. We need to throw them away and we no longer need to own them or keep them.

Well, I must have been wildly insane. For almost thirty years I bought all the self help books, tapes and courses I could afford which promised me instant self-improvement.
Some worked temporarily, some not at all, and most still sit on my bookshelves collecting dust. (Yikes, I need a maid!)
Does that sound familiar to you?
I am not sure if it was just me or if you have experienced this too, but I read so many self help books telling me what to do but not how to do it!
You have probably heard Napoleon Hill’s quote: “Anything the mind can conceive and believe the mind can achieve”
Well then, how can you “believe” anything when the repo man is knocking at the door to take your car?
Why, where one person fails does another succeed?
Why does one person lead a dull, drab unsuccessful life while another with seemingly no particular advantage over you, shoots to the top and lives the life you dream about?
To close out the week, I wanted to post some thoughts on a quote I’ve been thinking a lot about lately.
In the typical Google search for the quotation, it’s quoted by marketers, life coaches and sofa philosophers throughout the Internet. This contradictory post that states that this is the dumbest thing ever repeated by smart people stands in the face of all these hoorah-hoorah posts that use the quotation as a motivation to enact change in peoples’ lives, marketing campaigns, organizations or anything else anyone can think of.
Of course, this quotation is not meant to be taken literally, it’s origins are not actually verifiable and it’s not universally applicable.
The quotation in fact encourages experimentation by trying different things. Don’t alter your existence completely, but understand that eventually you need to smarten up if things you are doing aren’t producing the results you desire.
Similarly, it’s well known that persistence is the most common trait that characterizes a successful entrepreneur who’s made it. It could also be said that the quotation discourages persistence. A good quote (source):

One clear sign of insanity is to keep doing the same thing and EXPECTING DIFFERENT RESULTS.
What is attitude anyways?
Very simply said ATTITUDE is the composite of Thought, Feeling and Action.
First and most important to understand is that we think in pictures!
Think of something and a picture of that particular thing flashes on the screen of your mind(in front of your eyes).
As Human beings we have the ability to choose our thoughts. We can think negative thoughts, that will keep our body in a negative vibration or we can bring positive pictures on the screen of our mind and set our body in POSITIVE vibration. It’s up to US.
So to take this further when We think Positive we set our body in a positive vibration(we feel positive) so the Actions we take that day are Positive.
