The great challenges of life appear to us when, and only when, we have everything we need to survive and heal from the experience. ~ Gregg Braden

“You’re going to do it till you don’t do it anymore,” said Tracy kindly, but as kindly as it was said it still cut through the fog of my self pity like a lightning strike. I’d been weeping in my wine about some unhealthy pattern that kept cropping up in my romantic relationships, and wondering why I kept doing the same stupid thing over and over again.

I was twenty-something and had a fair bit of growing up to do, still I recognized in Tracy’s pragmatic observation something that has stayed with me ever since. We will keep being presented with the same lesson, over and over again, until we just don’t do the thing that triggers that particular lesson anymore.

There are many teachings that illustrate the point. The road with the hole in it that we keep going down and falling into from different angles until we finally choose not to go down that road anymore is one of my favorites.
