Is your life playing music in a loop ?

I saw him shake and tremble, like a helpless soul asking for help and each time I wanted to reach out to help, a voice inside my head kept repeating itself. Is there a pattern you see here? Is life playing the same music again in a loop? Is there a lesson that life is trying to teach you? Is this time for a detour? Again?

While there are many messages to take away, I want to talk about the loop specifically. While the loop can be seen as a plot device, I see it as a metaphor for negative life patterns. Then, what should we do when life shows you the similar negative patterns? Patterns can vary in severity, they all have a commonality: they tend to recur. We may think that the problem is gone, but it repeats after some time, hence making it a pattern.

We accept negative patterns, bad bullied behaviour, debt filled lifestyles and toxic relationships because we feel the need to feel in a specific manner to maintain the relationship either with bad bosses, colleagues, parents, friends, finances or partners. We feel we can rectify the situation and that makes us worthy of love. How do we, then, break free from these patterns?

We need to consciously recognise the thought when it comes, change the default way our mind will respond and hold ourselves back from actioning the same old way. When we change the way, we react to a negative pattern, the outcome will eventually change.

Life sure is a tough nut to crack and for those of you who do it, are truly the makers of their own destiny.
