Have you ever looked back on your life and thought about all the things that wouldn’t be if you knew what you know now? There are a few things that I am sure would not be an existence if I had the mind I have today when I was in my 20s and 30s.
When we are in repeating cycles, that’s exactly what happens. The same actions are repeated. But when we break the cycle, we are able to see the error of our ways so that we can make different decisions for ourselves.
But sometimes it’s important for us to be stuck in a cycle so that we can manifest the things that are supposed to be in existence in our future. Basically everything happens for a reason and we should be grateful for every experience we have in our lives no matter if we deem them positive negative or neutral. All things serve a purpose, and we would not be the people we are today if not for those experiences, we sometimes wish never happened.
I spent 13 years in a relationship with someone who never changed. This is acceptable for some but does not fit into the growth focused life I lead. When I finally recognized the repeating pattern we were in, I realized that the whole relationship would have ended in year one if I had the insight I now possess.
Looking back, if things hadn’t happened as they did, my life would be different and that experience would have created a totally different version of myself.
I love who I am and no matter how I feel about my past, I accept it all and I am grateful they have helped create the me of today.
I hope you find the ability to love the life you live and find gratitude in the yesterdays that created you💚
