Why Do Recurring Themes Help Us Succeed?

We need simple. We need key. We need repetition.

The answer to why do recurring themes help us succeed is painfully obvious. We are constantly overloaded with “important” messages. Without simple, key, repeatable themes, we fail. I (respectfully) dare anyone to show evidence this isn’t so.

How Constant Is Your Battle?

Same thing, different day.

Over and over and over…

  • The long way is the short cut
  • If your goal isn’t impossible, you’re not reaching high enough
  • Do something great
  • Focus and discipline
  • Do it for someone else
  • etc, etc….

Over And Over: Are Recurring Themes Key?

  • Work Life balance has five big choices
  • You are the CEO of You, Inc
  • We become either an example or a warning
  • Live, before you die
  • Life is hard, life is good
  • Everything is a gift
  • etc, etc….

Stacey then asked, “So you reuse some of your older posts?”

Pausing, and thinking for a moment, “No. There are recurring themes, over and over, but not the same stories.”

Can We Look Back On The Future?

92 days ago on New Year's day 2012. Christmas decorations in the background.

Do you consider yourself set in your ways? Comfortable with same old same old? So, um, it doesn’t make sense writing five different blogs every day of the year. Crazy. “Why?”, you ask. Because work life balance has five components, not two.

On top of that, this month I’m writing three months in advance. Life is one grand experiment. Grab your safety goggles and lab coat. Let’s go.
