Applying our History

We really are a people that are traveling through life. It is absurd to think that everything we face on the road will be brand new. There are going to be many situations that pop up over and over again. We may have a strong distaste for ruts and patterns but we will see them none the less. To win from the information in this minute we need to become masters of applying what we have learned. We can't get so caught up in yearning for the new that we make the same mistakes when we are faced with the recurring patterns in our lives. If I got a rash on my neck from rubbing against a bush cutting my grass, I'm gonna avoid my neck touching that bush when I cut it next week. If I smash my chin into an open drawer walking in the dark, I'm gonna turn on the light the next time. Are we gaining anything from the stuff that we see again and again? If we are not, the traps that we have fallen into before will snare us again. It's not always circumstances that are obsolete. Sometimes it's our approach that needs to be freshened based on experience. Have a great day applying what you have already learned.
