Summary

According to Einstein's definition of insanity, we are all a little insane in our pursuit of happiness, success, and fulfillment.

The author references Albert Einstein's quote, "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results," and applies this logic to our daily lives.

What do we strive for?

Is it happiness? Success perhaps? Or maybe it’s just finding fulfillment in something you’re passionate about.

The truth is, each and every person strives for something different but it all applies to doing the same continued in the hopes of getting promoted, noticed, or any sort of attention whatsoever.

“Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”

-Albert Einstein

With that logic, we are all insane in some sort of way. We aren’t going to be here very long and life is short so why not chase your goals and follow your dreams?

No matter what dreams you try to follow and who has the dream, it’s going to require time and consistency. For example, if you want to be a famous writer it’s going to require writing constantly in the hopes of getting better. The same thing goes if you want to be a famous artist or producer. The famous, influential artists don’t get to the talent they’re at unless it involves spending hours writing songs and making beats.

If you want to make it big and become successful it’s going to involve doing the same thing over and over again. It’s true, you expect a different result due to the work you put in. Why do we write? Most of us want to make money with writing and get as many readers as possible. When we’re in the process of writing a story we don’t have that mindset of expecting the same amount of views. You expect a different result, to get as much as possible.

So yes, if you think about it we are all a little insane. Once the results come, the satisfaction won’t be there until then.
