We all have our PATTERNS.
So if you steal things from an early age, you have a PATTERN of stealing things.
Even if you go a long time without stealing anything, you have a HISTORY of stealing, and chances are, you WILL steal again.
"Once a cheater, always a cheater" is an incredibly simpleton translation of this concept... it's the same principle.
Once you go on vacation to a particular location, you have a HISTORY of going on vacation to that location, and chances are you will return there.
Chances are you'll visit the state you grew up in again someday.
It applies to EVERYTHING.
If you have a history of having a cup of coffee in the morning, chances are you'll have a cup of coffee in the morning again.
If you were in an abusive relationship...
You could end up in one again. You have a history of it. You may not TRY to end up in one (duh), but nevertheless, the odds are that you will. Especially if you've been in more than one.
Life and all its events and choices from the smallest to the biggest are PATTERNS. History. Cycles. We all have them...
Look back at your life, and see the future.
Good point.
Rich runs.
When things get hard or uncomfortable he runs.
That’s the pattern I’ve seen.
Makes one wonder if he overdramatizes things he doesn’t want to deal with as “toxic”.
I have a friend like that.
