A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
Note that the problem isn't with "consistency," but with "foolish consistency."
What makes a habitual action "foolish?" Ask yourself whether it serves you, or whether you serve it.
Progress is impossible without change,
and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.
- George Bernard Shaw
Prejudice is a burden that confuses the past,
threatens the future and renders the present inaccessible.
- Maya Angelou
When what you are doing is frustrating you, STOP.
Pause to consider the true importance of the task.
Reflect on whether there is a better plan for reaching your goal.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
