Sound familiar?
You’ve heard yourself say these things.
1“I’ve always been like this.” You’ve repeated it so often that it stopped sounding like a conclusion and started sounding like a fact.
2You begin with genuine intention, then gradually stop—without always knowing exactly when the old pattern took over.
3Something in you already “knows” how this will end. It has seen this movie before, owns the commemorative popcorn bucket, and is not expecting a plot twist.
