take a step back.....
reflect upon your life, thus far....
your victories.....
your failures......
and you will surely see......
without exception......
that the VERY SAME PATTERNING.....
is in place......
OVER AND OVER again.....
to the point, almost,
where it becomes ,
unequivocally,
"predictable".....
only by virtue of its 'redundance'.....
it's interesting to note here
that one can actually be TOTALLY AWARE....
of previous 'patterning'......
(the less than productive type!)
hence, assuming that once the behavior is RECOGNIZED...
and accounted for.......
it will disappear, and make way for new, self actualized, and balanced
behavior.....
but NO, my friends......
"au contraire".....
the opposite occurs.....
we eventually do the VERY SAME THING.......
again and again......
and since it appears to be 'packaged differently'....
we allow ourselves to THINK.....
albeit for just a moment......
that we have broken our pattern of self destruction, etc......
all the while,
with some kind of 'red flag' waving in the recesses of our mind's eye.....
only to wake up.....
the next morning.....
realizing, full well, that history has, somehow,
'ducked' in,
beneath the covers....
while we were 'asleep'......
and SHE has taken HER throne and scepter back......
reclaiming our DNA for her very own.....
as it were........
and so it goes......
