Bob Tamasy: Build A New Habit: Developing Better, Healthier Habits Friday, January 15, 2021 - by Bob Tamasy Bob Tamasy When I used to bowl regularly years ago, I would occasionally roll a high score – in the low 200s – but couldn’t do that on a consistent basis. I was stuck with averages between 130 and 140. The reason was simple: I kept doing the same thing the same way, expecting different results.

Were you able to achieve every one of them? If you did, you’re either an exceptional person, or you have difficulty telling the truth sometimes.
