There’s More Than One Way

As the old adage goes, “There’s more than one way to skin a cat.” I’m facing this as I move forward with my first endeavor. I’ve changed, adapted, reformulated, and so forth and so on, for more times than I can think. I’ve got to do this one more time, but I can finally see the end. No more iterations. I can see how what I’m doing now can be scaled up and implemented massively. It’ll take a savvy approach, but I’ve got that covered too.

Myself and a few others consider wisdom as applied knowledge. Learning my past and that of others lends to accelerated growth and flattening of the learning curve. “Those who don’t learn from their past are doomed to repeat it” is another adage and I’ve it to be true. So when I’m faced with things I’ve gone through before, I’m quick to apply previous lessons.

I’ve been frustrated about my hesitancy to launch. I’ve written about it a few times. Now I can see how those previous trials will become beneficial in short order. I’ll keep moving forward, doing what’s needed and applying lessons along the way.

Today, Wednesday, February 1, 2023, I am grateful that:

I can recall my experiences and apply them to current situations. The ability to be humble enough to know I could have made different decisions and received different outcomes is part of self reflection.

I’ve found a way to use a new tool. I’ll have to hire a person with a better skill set, but the concepts are in place. I’ve already spoken with one person that’s quite familiar, but they are unable to work at the required rate.

I’m slow to anger when others don’t meet my expectations. I’ve been training myself to only expect what is committed to by others. I’m disappointed when people don’t do what they say they will. Not because they don’t do it, but because I’m usually saddened by the waste of my time.

How often do you apply your previous lessons to current situations?

How many times have you learned from your past decisions in the last week or month?

When you have the chance, do you actually appraise your behavior?

Are you delusional in your thinking? Thinking you don’t make mistakes or things are the way they are and that’s just how it is?

Be Great. Be Grateful!!!
