We are wiser than our patterns

Your patterns pretend to know a thing or two about looking after you.⁠

They pretend to know how to keep you comfortable when Life may be asking for a bit of perceived discomfort to grow.⁠

They pretend to know how to keep you playing small when secretly there is another more potent you, you know you can be.⁠

They pretend to know how to keep you in a false sense of external safety when true safety is something only you can generate from within. ⁠

They are the gatekeepers of the emotional and behavioural attitudes that keep you within the sphere of only what you've always known. ⁠

They are systemic. They are conditioned. They are constant. ⁠

And there is nothing invalid with any of that. ⁠

Unless, you don't want what you've always known.⁠

Then the choice becomes choosing to be wiser than your patterns.⁠

And creating new ones that reflect that wisdom. ⁠
