Repetition

Posted on March 7, 2010 by Gina

Has anyone else ever noticed that the same situation keeps showing up in their lives in different ways?

I have a list of things that seem to repeat themselves over and over again in my life.  And now I am finally learning that they are there to teach me a valuable lesson.  These teachings (or opportunities?!? : ) ) are happening over and over again until one time I may wake up from my habitual past and learn the lesson.  I have a gut feeling that once my lesson is learned, these situations will no longer show up.

As I was discussing this with my husband, the word he came up with was liberating.  I really appreciate his thought, and the fact that although I have done stuff repetively in the past, today, this moment I can do it different.  I can chose to learn the lesson and move on. 

I looked up liberating in the dictionary and this is what I found,

lib·er·ate

 1. To set free, as from oppression, confinement, or foreign control.
LOVE this definition, especially to set free from “foreign control.”  When the same situation shows up again and again in my life and I use the habitual response that I always do I feel like the situation controls me.  When I am aware and chose to learn the lesson I take back my control.  I find the good in the situation and what it is teaching me, versus automatically doing the same thing over and over again. 
May there be peace within.
Love,
Gina

    YES! I do have the same situations show up again and again! Leigh and I are each day working towards liberation we are working on “To set free, as from oppression, confinement, or foreign control”. This sums it all up, I love the word liberation to describe this journey!

    Funny enough Gina, it feels like all that continues to show up for me/us is due to allowing oppression and confinement in my/our life – foreign control. We are now taking back our power and control and building our life daily and future.

    Thank you for sharing my friend.
