Repeat

Jessie Potter (and others) have wisely said, “If you always do what you’ve always done, you always get what you’ve always gotten.”

The thing is, what you’ve gotten might not always be clear. Sometimes the feedback and outcomes are long delayed.

How quickly do you see the return for being a patient listener? How soon do you feel the effects of small, but regular unhealthy choices? How obvious is the benefit of a daily gratitude practice?

“What we get” can be a long story that unfolds little by little.

So we aim for better, we trust the process, and we’re not too quick to ask, “What’d I get?”
