You Cannot Step Into the Same River Twice

Heraclitus a Greek philosopher born in 544 b.c. said, “No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it’s not the same river and he’s not the same man.” What does that quote mean to you?
For me, the river is always moving because it’s alive so it’s never the same, and everyday people change because they have new experiences which shape them. If everything is in a state of flux, how can we use that to our advantage?
With a new perspective, how can we approach our work differently to be more efficient? How can we approach a problem that we are having differently? And, how can we elevate ourselves to view the problem differently? Einstein said, “Problems cannot be solved by the same level of thinking that created them.”
What are you thoughts? Can you step into the same river twice? Please let me know your thoughts in the comments section below. Many readers read this blog from other sites, so why don’t you pop over to The Invisible Mentor and subscribe (top on the right hand side) by email or RSS Feed.
