Just STOP and turn around

If you keep running into a dead end it is time to STOP whatever you are doing. Stop wasting your time and energy. You will simply have to stop long enough to figure out what you need to do to get moving again. Remember the definition to insanity is doing the same thing over and over again the same way and expect a different result. If you want a different result then STOP what you are doing and do something different. If you know where you are heading leads to a dead end then turn around and go a different direction.
