I went to the airport, and every single time I go to the airport, I wear the same damn boots that require taking off before entering the secure area of the terminal. There's some weird metal component in my boots that sets off the metal detector every time. And yet I don't learn from previous trips and continue to make the mistake of wearing the same boots.
I wonder why.
Perhaps they are comfortable.
Perhaps I'm insane.
Many say that insanity is repeating the same mistakes and expecting different results.
A piece of advice.
If you find yourself stuck in a cycle of the same mistakes,
you're probably not insane.
There's a certain comfort in familiarity
If the mistakes you are making aren't self-destructive,
you'll probably find that you have less incentive to deviate from your ways,
because there's no way your mistakes are gonna kill you.
And even if your mistakes are self-destructive,
there's still something that stops you from changing.
Why is that so?
Because you've taken some control over your ultimate fate.
Because in the back of your mind, it keeps your cause of death from being a total surprise.
If you ever find yourself thinking like this. Talk to someone.
If you feel like you're at an all time low, it's the turning point.
And it can only get better, right?
Right.
So talk about it, keep yourself in check.
You're not insane.
woah shit, my advice is longer than my actual original post.
