Breaking out of the Rat Race

Comfort Zones create boredom- the more predictable you are the more boring you become.

Psychologist Experiment:
He put a rat at one end of the maze and a piece of food at the other. The rat took a little while to get to the other side of the maze, but eventually found the food. Each day the rat became faster and in a short while, the rat was soaring through the maze. The psychologist then took the food away. The rat still zipped through, but found no food. Each day the rat went slower and slower until eventually it stopped trying to get through the maze at all.

The psychologist concluded, "That's the difference between rats and people. The rats know when to stop."

Aren't you tired of doing the same thing every day? How do you get your energy up when it's down? As soon as you are done reading this blog- Set new goals for yourself! Take a risk! The best way to follow through on your goal is to tell someone about it. Send me a comment on what risk you will take today and I will follow up with you in a week.

Quote of the month: "While those hesitate because they feel inferior, others are busy making mistakes and becoming superior."

Haha, good one!
It reminds me of a quote I read recently that said something like: Jumping in the water doesn't make you drown, but staying there does.
