If it Ain't Broke, Don't Fix it....
“If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” is the comfort zone of the under-achiever, the sanctuary of the lazy bastard, and the standard for the arse coverer.
‘If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it’….is a metaphor for mediocrity.
Anything can be improved, but why do we try so hard to keep doing what we’ve always done, even though we want a different outcome? It’s because of fear, fear of the unknown, fear of what others will say.
It’s the fear that if I change what I am doing, I won’t know what will happen tomorrow, or I don’t know how my boss will react. Our survival instinct wants certainty, it wants plain sailing, with no troubles or worries. But the conundrum of this is that we are then dissatisfied with our lot, and we want more out of life than what we are getting. So our answer is to look for someone or something to blame, instead of changing the way we act and behave.
We are strange creatures, us humans……………
