Hi there, this is Andrew Smith International Life Coach with a question for you: The question today is: “Do you keep doing the same things over and over again, and then expect different results?”

It took me less than two weeks to very enjoyably plough my way through the last of the seven Harry Potter books. Everyone kept asking me if I wanted to know what happened, or asked me if I thought Harry would die at the end?

JK Rowling is not only a wonderful story writer, but her life is also a wonderful story too! JK was a single Mum in Scotland when she began writing her Wizarding Tales. She originally used to sit in a local coffee bar, to write her Harry Potter stories, because she couldn’t afford the heating bill at home in the winter months!

There are many people who started with very little in life and have become wealthy like JK Rowling. I’m not just referring to wealth in monetary terms. I ask you to consider people who were born orphans, who grew up to have a great family life with their own partner and children; and people born slaves who became freemen.

Whatever you want in your life is worth working for and when things don’t go the way you want them to, you need to change your approach, till you get the outcome that you’re looking for. Doing the same things over and over and expecting different results is in my opinion a form of insanity. So mix it up, make your life interesting, but never take your eyes off your goals and they won’t escape you!

Einstein said, “Imagination is more important than knowledge, it’s the preview of life’s coming attractions!” In some ways that may seem to tell us the end of the story too soon, but the truth of the matter is, it’s the road and not the inn! The journey and not the arrival, which is what this life is all about! So decide where you want to go and have a ball, on the way to your goals.

Dr Richard Bandler who is the founder of the NLP movement says: “Failure isn’t possible unless you’re willing to put a date on it!”
