Our unhappiness is primarily caused by our own bad decisions, actions, and inactions. We constantly repeat the same toxic mistakes because we refuse to change our way of thinking or worst... We believe that when in the same situation, things will be different... this time. Things won’t be different because whatever similar situation we are in presently, will be no different from the one we were in in the past. We can’t expect to be in the same situation we were in before and expect different results. That is the definition of insanity.
Not only will we continue to be in unhappy relationships (friendships, jobs, spouse), but our mental and physical health will deteriorate, and there will come a time in our life when we will take inventory and realize that a large part of our unhappiness is due to repeating the same mistakes over and over and over again. So make this your own personal journal of life lessons that you’ve learned from your past relationships and situations. Words of wisdom, if you will, to your future self. And life lessons that you can pass on to those you don’t want to see suffer from making the same mistakes you made.
