“People often end up in bad situations repeatedly, and don’t understand how it keeps happening to them. My personal example from dating: the first time I started dating a woman and it failed spectacularly after a couple months, I blamed the woman. When it happened again, I blamed the woman. When it happened four times in a row, I started to realize that maybe it wasn’t the woman, and I had to figure out what I was doing to create that situation.”

Once we realize that we are replaying those patterns, we can experiment with making different choices and consciously creating new patterns of action that may lead to different results.”
