Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again
and expecting different results.
- Albert Einstein (attributed)
There is a fine line between perseverance and insanity.

and it's time to do something different?
It's a balance - a paradox.

as soon as something gets difficult,
your life won't work,
but if you keep tilting at windmills -
madly trying the same thing again and again,
your life also won't work.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

Always question WHY you are doing something.
Is it a free-will gift or an obligation?

and evokes resentment rather than gratitude
on the part of the recipient.

- Carlos Castaneda

the greatest fear of humankind,
and death the greatest unknown.

is a powerful beginning.

lies in living in the moment -
enjoying what you are doing today.
You don't need a reason to be happy,
just a choice.
