Insane in the same game?

At what point 

Are we still trying the same thing

But end up 

With the same unsatisfying result?


Not the result we want

Not a real result

Not making progress

Not enjoying breakthroughs


And 

Maybe it's not a point

But 

A sliding scale?


So even 

Harder

To notice

And admit


But there could be

Some event 

That could serve 

As a signal


A loss

An injury

Something breaking

Worse than before


Lack of motivation

Energy

Something someone said

At least to consider


To keep in mind

With persistence

We may still be able to

Work ourselves through


We don't always have to 

Change something

But persistence doesn't have to mean 

Trying the same thing over and over


It doesn't have to apply

To the path

Much more important seems

The destination 


So persistance

Can also mean finding 

Another way that works

Towards a goal we had set


So if 

What we're doing 

Just doesn't seem to work

Let's try something else


Take a break

To reflect

Or let the mind wander

Think about something else


If we keep trying

Change a variable

Add in a different challenge

Maybe switch the whole game


Before we 

Eventually 

Go insane 

In the same game :)


And are not having fun 

Along the way!

We can always come back

Later...


No matter what

Probably always good to

Ingrain in the main brain

To train for flexibility
