If I were dropped out of a plane into the ocean and told the nearest land was a thousand miles away, I’d still swim.
Abraham Maslow
I firmly believe that there is no such thing as a formula that always works.
One plus one is meant to equal two. Yet in the real world, you very easily find yourself saying,
“I did one and then one, so how in the hell did I end up with six?” It seems to me that there is no fail proof diet or exercise plan. There is no university degree that will get you a good job. There is no right way to raise a child or have a relationship. No recipe for a great cake every time. Anyone who tells you that some shiny product, method or plan will definitely work is selling you something.
It seems to me there are only people who MAKE things work. A determined person finds success through research, trial and error. A determined person sees the endless variables and enjoys finding a way to make them work.
Success doesn’t come from finding the right formula. It’s an attitude.
