Whenever I fall into a pattern of dualism, of right versus wrong, of good versus bad, of people pleasing versus pleasing myself, whenever I'm seeing things as just black or white, that's when I'm in trouble of history rhyming.
Ever feel like you're caught in a loop, making the same mistakes over and over? In this episode of 'A2D - From Addict to Disciple', David Hain takes you on a reflective walkabout inspired by Mark Twain's quote, 'History never repeats itself, but it does often rhyme'. Hain explores how familiar patterns can sneak up on us, even when we're vigilant about avoiding triggers. These patterns, though wrapped in new packaging, can lead us down paths we've walked before.
David shares his thoughts on recognizing these subtle 'rhymes' in our lives and how they can impact recovery. He warns against the trap of black-and-white thinking and emphasizes the importance of embracing reality and nurturing relationships. The episode also touches on self-sabotage, fear, and failure, urging listeners to find a space beyond right and wrong where true personal growth can happen.
With his empathetic and insightful approach, David Hain offers a fresh perspective on breaking free from the cycles that hold us back.
