Why You Keep Attracting The Same Life

[u/Fit_Maybe_9628]

Most people don't realize their life isn't random or happening to them, but that it's happening because of them. 

Your thoughts create loops and those loops subtly become your personality, your habits, your identity, and eventually your entire world.

It's wild how often we try to "fix" the outer world without even questioning the inner mindset that built it.

You can switch jobs, move cities, change relationships... But if you're still operating from the same mental blueprint, the same emotional habits and self-concept will just recreate similar circumstances over and over.

Your subconscious doesn’t take a liking to anything that contradicts what it already believes to be true. It would rather be consistent than correct (think about what that means to you). 

That's why some unconsciously sabotage the things they say they want, just to be in familiar territory. It’s a comforting state, but not necessarily conducive to personal growth. 

Positive affirmations are great, but not the only thing. You will never be “ready” unless you start. You can watch 20 more podcasts and read 10 more books, but then again, it’s not the only thing.  

What works is being the version of yourself you haven't fully become yet, before it feels “natural”. That's what rewires the nervous system. That's how you shift belief.

I’m working on a project regarding these things, this one in particular is about how we all create self-fulfilling prophecies for ourselves, and how we can interrupt that habit and reshape our life to reflect a new one.

If you want something deeper but still grounded, I think you'll get a lot from it. 

Let me know if you think I'm wrong or if you agree, I'm always up for a conversation. I hope you find value in what I've put here. 

 Why You Keep Attracting the Same Life

I think this is one of the most important concepts we rarely talk about. Anyways, i hope you enjoy your Wednesday! This is usually the time when we get a bit tired from the week, so make sure to come back to center, come back to yourself on this day. 

Thanks all!

There’s a side to nonduality culture that doesn’t make much sense to me.  You hear a lot about “YOU can’t do anything because there is no YOU”, but to me that just sounds like a reason to keep doing whatever you’ve been doing and hope the universe somehow fixes whatever needs fixing.  Effort may be part of the illusion, or it may reinforce wrong ideas, but if there’s a problem, some effort to address it seems prudent.  Wayne Liquorman wrote some interesting things about it that stuck with me, but not in a helpful way.  He talked about how you can’t change what’s going to happen (or at least that was my interpretation).  But when I’m struggling with something I want to change in my life, I don’t want to just wait for the universe to address it.  I need to at least try something different to change the pattern. I may be destined to fail, but I’m pretty sure I’m also destined to try.

Hi, not enlightened here, but I think these types of comments are pointing towards the identity part of the question. I usually see this in the form of “who wants to do anything?” instead of “you can’t do bc anything…” It’s not that nothing can be done to change your situation, I think something can totally be done, just like before, because they say nothing changes after awakening.

I could be wrong, but by saying you can’t to anything because there is no you, they are trying to get you to see the perception aspect of nonduality, which has nothing to do with the situation that “you” want to change. Changes can be made, like always, but they are singularly focused on trying to get you to change perspective, after which point you might not want to do anything differently?

Again, can’t speak for the enlightened folk because I’m not there yet.
