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
