Chasing my tail...

Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
Albert Einstein

Have you ever watched a cat or dog chase its' own tail?  For a brief point in time, it forgets that their tail is in fact connected.  But still, with eager determination it salivates and grunts to catch it. ..Without any reprieve, they run in circles, pouncing and keenly attempting to capture that furry object that keeps "chasing them".  I feel like sometimes in life we chase our own tails.... Thinking that we can pounce on ((weight loss, breaking a habit, organization, learning a language, forgiving someone in our lives, cooking well, ...))) Unfortunately, if you're anything like me, you probably will get a great idea and expect it to just blossom from there.  We disregard the simple fact that to retrain the brain, fix bad habits, learn new ones, have a second language, or know how to function in an elevator without hyperventilating all take a new approach from what we have been doing currently. It takes effort, and possibly a change of direction..
