This line really stood out to me: "You default to what's familiar, not what's aligned." It’s such a simple statement, but it packs a punch! I've noticed this in my own life so many times. I’ll catch myself falling back into old routines that feel comfortable but don’t necessarily serve my current goals or needs. It’s like wearing a pair of worn-out shoes—they might be familiar and easy, but they’re not really supporting me anymore. It’s almost like our brains have a default setting, and it takes conscious effort to override it and choose a path that's truly aligned with who we are now, not who we were then. I appreciate you pointing out this often-overlooked nuance. It’s a reminder that growth sometimes means stepping outside the well-worn paths, even when it feels a little uncomfortable.
Aww, thanks so much, Alexander. I so appreciate you highlighting that line and sharing that very relatable personal experience as it's something we've all done at some point (I raise both my hands to that!)
It's so true that old patterns take quite the intention and effort to override. Unless you somehow reprogram that state at a deeper level, it easily becomes that safety blanket you keep going back to when fear, doubt, or uncertainty creep up.
Especially as we continue to grow and evolve, there will be those old patterns or habits that no longer align with who we're becoming. Plus, we are oh-so-very human who still make mistakes and want to indulge in the comforts, too. Lol, that's why they say personal growth is a lifelong journey, eh?
