"The prudent see danger and take refuge, but the simple keep going and suffer for it." -- Proverbs 27:12

I've heard that insanity can be defined as doing the same thing over again, but expecting different results.  Take a moment to think of the things you do again and again that lead to the same outcome... why do you do it?  Consider the habits that we take on in our lives that are destructive to our physical bodies and pocket books... like smoking... why do we do these?  It's not that we don't know better... the smoker certainly knows that smoking can lead to cancer and death... but smokes anyway.  Knowledge isn't enough.  There has to be will associated for change to occur.  The prudent see the danger and adjust their course to avoid it.  The simple might see the same, but hope for the best.  Do you live your life hoping for change or acting toward it?
