Repitition

Repitition

1989 North Hollywood California was the first time I was introduced to the term REPITITION.
I was a young actor studying the Meisner Technique @ Playhouse West.

It was called the REPITITION excercise.
I with my acting partner would just say something and repeat it back and forth to each other, until one of us was prompted AUTHENTICALLY to make a change.

Since those days in acting class all those years ago, I have throughout my life continued to play THE REPITITION GAME by continuing to deal with the same issues and problems.

I WANT TO SAVE PEOPLE. This is often at the expense of losing myself.
I tend to be a giver. Unfortunately usually I give to all of the wrong people. I find myself investing in people that are not a good investment. Not that they are not nice people perhaps. But usually there is very little if any return on my investment.

People know that I am a nice guy and a generous guy. Knowing that, I find that I am usually not appreciated and often times completely taken advantage of.

I always find the wounded bird that needs to be nursed back to health, wheather it be emotionally, financially, psychologically and sometimes even physically.

I did this also as a child with animals.

I can not even tell you how many times I have helped friends financially and was screwed over.
This past fall I was having this conversation with a friend and he said flat out that he does not lend money, and that I myself had to make a promise to stop.

I really had to take a look at this issue that was being repeated over and over again.

After much reflection I realized that I was trying to insure these friendships by buying them. I was always concerned about being liked and being the nice guy. Let me tell you being the nice often times leads to alot of heartache and headaches.

Well sadly I must say none of the relationship have survived. REPITITION.

What happens in life is until we LEARN THE LESSON, AND REALLY LEARN IT. IT WILL REPEAT.

The universe is a wonderful teacher,and such a patient teacher, that it will continue to present the same issues in ones life until they GET IT.

My suggestion to all of you out there........BE A GOOD STUDENT.
LEARN QUICKER THAN ME, AND SAVE YOURSELF ALOT OF MONEY AND HEARTACHE.

ONLY HAVE PEOPLE IN YOUR LIFE THAT WANT TO BE THERE AUTHENTICALLY. DO NOT FORCE ANYONE TO BE ANYWHERE THEY DO NOT WANT TO BE.

These two images are what I consider a great return on my investment. It is all about Gratitude.
