….Or the way the world views you.

We’ve all heard it, and know it to be true:

“Doing the same thing over and over, and expecting a different result, is the definition of insanity.”

And yet we all continue do the same thing again, and again. I think partly that’s because we don’t tie the intangible results to the repeat of our tangible actions. E.g. the tangible result of driving the same route to work every morning is getting there on time. But the intangible result is to become slowly bored over time, or to constantly arrive at work frustrated (with traffic). We know we’re bored, we just don’t tie it to the drive to work in the morning.

So the only way to get a different result is to change what we do. And everything is up for grabs. Maybe you “don’t” give to charity, or you only give a certain amount, or just to certain charities. Lord knows, there’s enough out there. Well, feel free to change that.

Maybe you use certain ‘product’ in your hair. Well, feel free to change that.

Maybe you feel that a huge change (like e.g. shaving or colouring your hair) will make people view you as a fanatic, an odd ball, somehow ‘less professional’ – yep, our concern for other’s perceptions is a huge driver in what we do.

So my challenge for tonight is to “Change the way you view the world, or maybe just the way the world views you.” Be brave and Shave Come and join the Virtual Shave Team You can do it from wherever you are in the world. Just:
