Soap SudsI have been always one to read up about trends and how they might portend the future. A crystal ball if you will. Think that

Lather, Rinse, Repeat Patterns Reveal The Future.

You know the lather, rinse and repeat instructions on the shampool bottle? Kind of like the Groundhog Day movie for soap suds on your hair. Many cycles out there in real estate and in life you can see. Like,

FHA loan after FHA loan from one particular lender falls through. Buying houses sight unseen for three buyers in a row where the deals end.

 

How about your affiliates people being unreliable? That handyman you point around to fix various annoying crooked doors, or cracks in the sheetrock, or electrical work, you KEEP getting reports of slipshod work. Maybe time to go ANOTHER direction to get a BETTER future happy ending?

When you start understanding reading tea leaves, looking at trends and patterns, particularly ones that keep CYCLING you will convince yourself you have truly found a crystal ball for the future. It is truly that you have not become a genius or rocket scientist, you have just learned to PAY ATTENTION when the evidence is right there in front of you.

There are millions of examples of this in the personal world too that act like the tides going in and out and the sun rising and setting every day. Guess what will happen after the sun sets? It will rise again 12 hours later approximately. You are a GENIUS! The one personal example I hear from women dating or failed marriages is, "Why do I keep marrying or dating this loser guy?" He turns out to be an alcoholic, a druggie, a self-absorbed narcissist, or a jerk? Yet at husband number THREE looking back on ALL of them, SHE was the one who picked them. Turns out she might be a rescuer personality, and subconsciously at least that was what she wanted, A PROJECT to feel good herself. Lather, Rinse, Repeat.... same old, same old.... You have to step back and see the pattern, then you become the genius when you keep doing that cause you know where the future is exactly going.

So look for LATHER, RINSE, REPEAT cycles in business and in your personal life and if you don't like where the future YOU KNOW is going, STOP IT, and get on some different track with your train.

BTW, truly in the shampoo world you need to know the manufacturer WANTS you to repeat to use up more product so you will BUY MORE of the stuff. And from a hair care perspective, ONE cleaning without repeating is good enough, else you will strip the natural oils out of your hair. If nothing else LOL out of this blog post I got you saving money on your shampoo and taking better care of your hair. The FUTURE of REPEAT is damaging your hair.

Sounds a lot like Albert Einsteins quote about Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. 

You are absolutely correct Gary - we all have the power to choose and sometimes breaking bad patterns or cycles is exactly what we need to do to get from where we are, to where we want to be!

Rebekah: Albert Einstein did have it right, and in many instances in life we must stop the insanity.

A look Lady Gaga might take on next! Why do sellers continue to list their home that hasn't sold with agents who just do not handle it right?  You can see from the lack of description, pictures or no pictures, etc. that the listing is just tossed in and melts away without notice.  Repeat the cycle again.  Best wishes for a great weekend.
