Revolve Or Evolve

This probably never happened to you but I’ve made the same stupid mistake more than once. It’s like I was trapped in a revolving door.

The only remedy for me to set myself free was to evolve. That meant recognizing I was in a circular loop.

Did you ever notice that most of your thinking is circular? To use a modern day, overused phrase, you “circle back” to that which didn’t work the last time.

I think we can all learn a lesson from Thomas Edison. Yes, he made lots of mistakes too, but not the same ones. He had the presence of mind to recognize what didn’t work and mapped out another route. That’s evolving.

One of our greatest but least used assets is our ability to notice. Noticing is the key to keep the door from revolving around the same real estate.

Notice what you’re thinking while you’re thinking it and you interrupt the revolving thought loop. It’s this interruption at the time of crime that puts you on the pathway to parole.

You can be a prisoner of your thoughts and experience the recidivism that goes along with that or you can notice and be set free.

Let me "circle back" to the title of this mini podcast: Revolve or Evolve? One takes you for a spin; the other drives you where you want to go.

All the best,

John
