Brick Wall

Do you ever feel like you are banging your head on a brick wall and nothing is improving?  This is exactly how I feel, trying and trying to help, banging my head on the brick wall but the situation will not change. But I have to try. I cannot give up. So I continue to bang my head in hopes that something will give.

I’ve decided that I cannot give up and my head hurts! I have to find a new approach. Dig in my heels, be stronger than the problem and find a new way to make it work. Because it just has to. Because head on hasn’t been working, I need to change my approach. Like the tight end on a football team, I’ve decided to take on problem from the ground up … tackle the problem from the bottom.  At least we won’t be bumping heads anymore!

Am I talking in code? No not really. I have a problem that keeps coming up and I keep taking care of it the same way I always have. And just like clockwork, it keeps coming back up. Maybe it’s time I stop taking care of it the same old way.

If you keep studying for tests the same old way and keep getting the same old grades maybe you should do what I’m doing … change your way of tackling the problem.
