There are so many problems associated with returning time and again to the same old, same old.  When nothing has changed between you, why keep going back to the same thing that was not satisfying the first time around? 

Life is a river.  And as stated in all philosophies, you can not step into the river twice in the same place.  It is ever moving, ever changing.  It is an indication of our own human nature, that we, too, are ever changing. 

So if relationships are changing, why would anyone be stuck to the same old person, place, thing?  The reasons I am sure are many when we try to justify our behaviour but come down to one thing only: The fears we hold of moving on.  We are stuck in fear and can not enjoy the adventure and fun of looking beyond what we already know.  Perhaps it is 'rather the devil I know, than the one I don't know' attitude that keeps us stuck in the old, tried and usually abusive past rather than moving onward and upward.

These fears are all wrapped up in a neat package that we open with frequency when we are berating ourselves or mentally playing our lack instead of our own self worth.  There is a hair dye commercial that uses the slogan "And I'm worth it!"  As individual, unique beings so are we! 

It is time to stand up and be counted as someone of worth.  With this in place, we will see the fears for what they are, debilitating and not worthy of our use.

We can begin with knowing that we are special and have opinions.  Allowing others to control those opinions or make them for us does not empower our own self worth energies.

If someone does not like me for who I am, then it is their loss, not mine.  I am special, with all the good, the bad, the ugly that is me, accept it or move on.  This is a very powerful energy to get a hold on and keep it growing. 

So the truly real feelings that keep us coming back time and again have nothing to do with any preconceived ideas such as karma, but more to do with our own fears and lack of self worth.  When we change this in ourselves (no one else can do it for us) then we will know who is with us and who is against us.  Controlling us into something we are not is not the adventure of life.  It is actually controlling you to not seek any adventures in life.  And control issues stem from the fears of the controller instilling them in the controlled.
