“Well obviously” or ‘D’uh” is the immediate response to the age old saying “If you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you’ve always got.” or “The definition of insanity is doing the same things over and over again and expecting different results.”
We all know this right? We all want to do better and get better at our jobs, at our relationships, at our hobbies. We’re living in a society of continuous pressure to improve. Well the reality is that’s it’s easy to become 20% better just by being more efficient doing what you are already doing. To be 100% better requires you to do things differently. You don’t even need to be efficient if these changes are big enough. Hiring stronger people is big enough.
Doing things differently is scary and sometimes downright terrifying…… I read a quote by Arianna Huffington (Founder of The Huffington Post) that really resonated with me, she said “Fearlessness is like a muscle. I know from my own life that the more I exercise it, the more natural it becomes to not let my fears run me.”
“Fearlessness is like a muscle. I know from my own life that the more I exercise it, the more natural it becomes to not let my fears run me.”
Be brave today. Be fearless and relentless in your pursuit to be 100% better. Do something DIFFERENTLY.
