The Man in the Mirror PROJECT - Reinventing the Wheel

What do you think of when I say "reinvent the wheel?"  Is there an image of trying to recreate what

has already been done?  If there isn't, there should be.

How many times in our lives do we struggle with the same issues never realizing the part we have played in creating the same environment for our struggle?  We tell ourselves it is beyond our control, there is a grander plan or a struggle of egos.  Many times, however, it is our inability to see what we have done to prolong the situation.  Is it your need for approval that leads you to think that you need to put up with unhealthy people and patterns?  Maybe it's your need for acceptance or sometimes even the need to be "right".

Many of the repetitious cycles that we repeat in our lives are of our own creation.  We enter into the same situations with the same type of people, reinventing our "wheels" so to speak every time.  It's almost like having the same dream over and over again.  You'll have it, til you "get it".  So if there is a situation in your life that seems to keep repeating itself, take a step back and see what it might be.  Look at your own dynamics and how you view the situation.  Inquire about how you feel about the situation, then ask yourself how you could have handled it differently or how you can feel differently about the situation now and in the future.  Pretty soon you will realize, you don't have to reinvent the wheels in your life, you most often can let them roll right out of your life all on their own.

What a timely topic, Deborah! In a way, are we not all down here on this pitiful earthen plane just because we have not learned to get off the wheel of our own mistakes? I think so.

We need to begin to think in an unorthodox manner, somehow "outside of the norm," to get off this dar'n wheel of where we find ourselves to make the same mistakes continually over and over again.

Is it not so that "we are what we think" or also "we become what we think?" And here the adoption of commonly little-known concepts of a "new" reality would certainly be a first step of "getting off the wheel" even though they require courage to embrace for being perceived as unpopular, even though some realities are as old as the hills, so to speak.

Thank you for prodding us to reform our obsolete belief system and re-orientate ourselves in a world where truth has lain rather dormant for so long. We need to develop a mind cleared of all cob-webs of outmoded thinking in order to get ready for some grande events lying in our future.

Thank you again, Debbie, for providing the people with the opportunity to embrace more "advanced thinking." The information you provide can certainly lead people in that direction. :)
