When we think of where we have been and where we are going? Does it seem like we have already been there before? What is it about personality that gives us our MO? Are we predictable?
I had a conversation this weekend about patterns. This person said, " I never go into one place the same way, even taking the route to work always changes." Hmmmm...well, if you were being careful about not having a pattern you would do that of course. But wait, wouldn't you not following a pattern so that you are not predictable be a pattern in a way? I mean, even when we change...and KEEP changing...is that not a pattern?
So you hit a wall every 5-10 years or so and you have to come up with new ideas or activities that make you happy, make you feel productive, and successful in anyway...whether it's with relationships, careers, jobs, or even social networks. If you can think back, is what mattered to you 5 years ago still there? Does it still matter, or is it different?
Our patterns makes us surround ourselves with similar people and situations. If we have made mistakes in the past, are we not bound to make them once again?
What is it about our nature that makes you try or even succeed in change? Is change only a mirage?
