The Benefits Of Thinking Differently

When you think differently, you will see things differently. When you think differently, you will do things differently. When you think differently, you will behave differently. When you think differently, you will work differently. And when you think differently, you will live your life differently.

And people will say, ‘you are different.’ It is good to be different than it is to be the same. The same is just the same. You will get what you put into it. If you want to be different, you must learn to think differently.

It is hard, but it is possible. You can do it. You don’t have to be like other people. You don’t have to copy what other people are doing. You can learn from them, but do not copy from them.

Because when you copy from other people, you are not learning. You are just trying be like other people. You are just trying to be who you are not. You are just trying to think like other people. It is not possible. It won’t help you. So don’t waste your time.

To get what you want, you must think differently. You must see things differently. Do not be afraid to question things, especially things that you don’t know.

Thinking differently is not about totally ignoring what others have done in the past. It is not ignoring what you have done in the past. It is learning from what works. It is letting go of what is not working.

As a being, you are thinking differently when you have the courage to question your own thoughts, your own assumptions, when you dare to live your life on your own terms.

You are thinking differently when you have the courage to see the world differently, when you don’t judge people before you meet them.

You are thinking differently when you know that there is more out there than what you already know.

You are thinking differently when you are willing to be tested, to be vulnerable, when you are willing to explore the unknown. That is thinking differently.

So if you are tired of getting the same results, why not consider ‘thinking differently?’

Strangeness, Not Sameness

Sameness is good, but not good enough.

Strangeness is good, but scary.

Is there growth in sameness? No.

Sameness is boring, but strangeness is exciting!

There is no growth in sameness. All you do is the same. All you get is the same.

If what you are doing is not changing you,

if it is not growing you,

if it is not adding value to your life,

if you remain the same,

if it is not changing your thoughts,

if it is not making you uncomfortable,

if you are not learning from it,

if it is easy,

if you are not struggling to do it,

if you are not questioning yourself enough,

then change it.

It is just sameness.

Don’t pursue sameness, pursue strangeness.
