Time to get going! Don’t forget yesterday…

“God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.” -Reinhold Niebuhr

Little progress is better than no progress at all! Keep taking that one step forward…

I read the Alchemist for about an hour and then, while eating dinner,I watched Monday Night Football.
The Buffulo Bills vs the New York Jets:

I wonder if the NY Jets kicker would have made both field goals that was missed if the NY Jets would have still lost?

Makes me thing my own path, right! If I did not watch the football game, what else would I have completed? Would I be further in life? 🤔

If I keep doing what I have been doing, I will keep getting what I have been getting.

Let that sink in!

What I learned today. I got this from Google and closely resembles my life:
The region beta paradox is a phenomenon where something that is not good enough to stay but not bad enough to leave can actually be better. It can be seen in many areas of life, including relationships and jobs.
Psychologist Daniel Gilbert coined the term in 2004. Here are some examples of the region beta paradox:

Relationships
Someone might be in a relationship that is comfortable and stable, but they know they are not truly happy. They might be less likely to end the relationship to find a better one.

Jobs
Someone might have a job that pays well and has good benefits, but they don’t feel challenged or fulfilled. They might be stuck in the job because they are afraid of the strain of finding a new one.

Commuting
If someone decides to walk to work if it is less than one mile away and cycle if it is more than one mile away, they might arrive earlier if they cycle to a two-mile office than if they walked.

Cleaning
If someone prefers a tidy home, a small mess might not be enough to motivate them to clean. A slightly bigger mess might be enough to cause discomfort and motivate them to clean faster.

The region beta paradox can also be applied to the idea that people can sometimes recover more quickly from more distressing experiences than from less distressing ones.

The Region-Beta Paradox explains that we often endure things that are “not-so-bad,” but this stops us from flourishing into truly good situations. The paradox is that when situations are sort-of bad, we’d actually be better off if they were worse! Because then we’d do something about it.
