Sometimes going through the same path can seem unappealing.  Repetition is mind-numbing at times.  Reframing your path as tenacity and resilience is a fresh way to look at your efforts.

Your efforts have a meaning if they are important to you.

When repetition is unproductive:

1. When the efforts don’t contribute to something higher than yourself 
2. When they don’t align with what you see as important 
3. Mis-directed meetings 
4. When your heart is not in it
5. No results…

Ways to make your behaviors and actions mean more – and create an advantage:

1. Do more that matters.  Define what that is.
2. Examine whether the hardship is tied to important values or a mission.
3. Is your activities wearing you down, or are they creating “tired but rewarding energy.”

Too many activities are a result of distraction, survival, and reaction.  If any of these exist, it’s probably time to find a new path. Embrace repetition, when it is getting you closer where you want to go.
