According to Einstein the definition of Insanity is doing the
same thing over and over again and expecting different results... Now where can
I apply this? Ha! By this definition I am thinking it is time to break out the
white jacket, pad the walls and call the white truck!
From this week’s learning about the reflective investigator, I have concluded that perhaps eating that third piece of cheesecake has the enduring effect of preventing my jeans from fitting? Of course the same could be said of the endless monthly
gym membership fees being withdrawn from my account without actually attending.. Who
knew?!
I have learnt that my taste in the
opposite sex inevitably leads me to be attracted to ‘bad boys’ whilst repeatedly forgetting the word ‘bad’
means 'not good'...
I know that I continuously regret sending
emails/texts when I am tired and/or feeling moody and that when I read over
them later I think DOH!.... then promising myself I will assert better self
control in future.. (a work in progress).... This too brings to mind a phrase friends
may have observed me use once or twice... “I am never drinking again!”
Someone mentioned in today’s
lecture that producing children was an example of not learning by virtue of repeatedly recreating
the same circumstances; in this area I excelled! I delivered one,
two, three, four, male prodigy! On the balance of percentages, by number three I
had less than a 5% chance of producing a female heir; unfortunately I am not
easily swayed by mere statistics! (I also read the other day that you had 1000x
more chance of being hit by a car whilst crossing the street to buy a lotto
ticket, than actually winning the lotto! Pffft!)
So the conclusion today is thus, I can
either completely reset the internal process that allows me to repeat my mistakes
and get off the hamster wheel of inevitability.... or cross my arms, buckle up
and get comfortable.
I wonder if it is a coincidence that white
really is my colour?
