You are in the loop until you learn your lessons
You are in the loop until you learn your lessons. Each loop is different. Some run for months, others for years, and some for lifetimes.
Sometimes you don’t even know you are in the loop. Well, at least until it hits you late at night, and suddenly clarity knocks you off like a bad drug.
All your mistakes blur into one.
All past lovers start to look too alike.
All drunken nights merge into one.
Your behavior patterns keep you in behavioral loops.
Repeated behaviors result in repeated heartbreaks.
It is easy to see it when you are outside the loop. As long as you are in the loop, you are like a hamster on the wheel. You must keep going… you’ll eventually get somewhere.
Your fragmented soul is an intricate map of all your loops.
Each time the loop runs its course, it digs deeper under your skin, and in time, it becomes your destiny.
You tell yourself: I’ve always been this way. I don’t know how to be anything else. The good news is that you CAN learn how to be something new.
It takes practice, effort, and time, but days will pass anyway.
Once you leave your loop, you are no longer Sisyphus suffering in vain.
You can move forward, learn new lessons, and grow with each challenge.
Your loops are your personal quests, but you need to leave them behind to level up. They hold your potential hostage.
If you made it here, thank you for reading. Your task for today is to identify your loops. Awareness is the first step to freedom.
Keep on dreaming!
