affecting change

what follows is the result of a brief internet search for the source of the quote that basically says a + a = b (always) in actions, if you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always gotten, or even another way, if you want change, start with yourself...

If you think what you've always thought,
then you'll feel what you've always felt.
If you feel what you've always felt,
then you'll do what you've always done.
If you do what you've always done,
then you'll be what you've always been.
~this webpage attributes it to Aristotle
I personally find that very hard to believe

another version:

If you always feel what you've always felt,
you'll always think what you've always thought.
If you always think what you've always thought,
you'll always do what you've always done.
If you always do what you've always done,
you'll always get what you've always got.
If there is no change,
There is no change.

If we always believe what we've always been taught,
we will always think what we've always thought.
If we always do what we've always done,
we'll always get what we've always got.

WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET!
We look with our eyes but we see with our brains. When you look, what do you see? We "frame" the pictures of life as good or bad; negative or positive. What we see determines our thoughts; our thoughts determine our actions and our actions determine our lives. If we always do what we've always done, we'll always get what we've always gotten. We can learn to "reframe" life's pictures realistically, consciously and positively in order to dramatically impact personal and professional success. Real life examples of reframing with humor are offered. If you change what you see, you change what you get!

Dr. Jeffrey Lant says:
It was Albert Einstein, no less, who said that if you keep doing what you're doing, you'll keep getting the results you've been getting.

David Wolfe quotes:
"If you keep doing what you're doing, you'll keep getting what you're getting. If you keep believing what your believing, you'll keep achieving what you're achieving."
