To Succeed

"To attain what you do not currently have, you must do things you have never done". This phrase in its various forms, for whatever reason, sticks with me. And it has been on my mind more in the past year or so. The idea, of course, is to try new things. Clearly the work of a devout optimist. I can not help but agree with the sentiment. However, my optimism often wanes and contributes to my cynicism.

My curiosity has the better of me at times, though. So I have not been able to keep myself from wondering if the opposite is also true "To attain what was previously had, continue doing that which has always been done".
