Recently I had someone mention that many of my blogs are very related and that it seems I have similar themes that I like to discuss—and I can’t argue with this observation. As I thought about this a bit, I realized that throughout our lives, similar themes, lessons, discussions, etc. constantly pop up. There seems to be a pattern of repetition in much of what we learn, talk about, and do. And to me, there is power in repetition. In fact, many of the most skilled people in any given profession are those who have repeated and practiced their skill time and time again. Thus repetition is a powerful way for us to reach our potential and excel.
How many times do we groan when we hear the same lecture from our parents or boss? This is natural however repetition is a powerful way for us to learn and apply lesson in our lives. In fact, it seems we need repetition in order to truly learn and to be our best. And those who can overcome the mundaneness of repetition, and discipline themselves to repeat over and over again that which they are trying to perfect, will gain an insurmountable advantage in coming out on top.
So, rather than avoiding a class you’ve already taken, or that lecture you’ve already heard, or that activity you’ve done a hundred times, perhaps the best way for us to grow and be better is to go back and do it again. If we can learn to be content with repetition, realizing how it can hone our skills and help us reach our potential, we will be on a path to greater success.
So next time we start complaining about “the same old” remember there is power in repetition. Rather than shun or bemoan the repetition you see in your life, embrace it!! And as you do you will be becoming a better you!
