So it’s worth changing something from time to time – not only to achieve different results, but also just not to be lulled to sleep by the routine actions. You may feel comfortable where you are now, and repeating the same maintains your achievements. But this is where life stops, ’cause life is where there’s growth and development.

And gosh, how true it is for human relations! This explains troubles of so many families… Day by day they find themselves in same situations, every time stepping on the same rake, getting frustrated, until they’ve made each other’s life unbearable, or until it occurs to one of them to step out of the box. Then, hopefully, he/she comes up with a bright idea that something should be changed…

Personally, I’ve been thinking over this for a long time regarding my acting practice. I play a part. Same text every time. And it’s my 2nd performance. Then 10th. Then 20th… And the trick is, I HAVE TO make it sound new, every turn being the first one. So every time I try to think: what does it mean for me now? Good, what else? What would I like to say today?..

And thank you for putting these 6 steps together. Having the whole chain it’s easy to see in which ring you’ve made a mistake. Sometimes it is the very first one: you just haven’t stated the goal clearly. Sometimes it’s the second: you haven’t actually been doing anything to achieve it. And so on…

And finally, linking this to another your post, I’d like to add that sometimes we can’t imagine how DRAMATICALLY different things may be if we take a step ahead. Or aside. Just a tiny move can be enough for a leap to your goal – and maybe much more, something you haven’t even dreamed of!! And even if this step is wrong, and you will have to revise and change your stretegy again, this will still be a precious experience, which will definitely make your life richer, or just fun ;)
