From Joseph Ghabi, for About.com

If you have a past history when it comes to relationships and have never dealt with it, the moment you are in a new one you’ll see that the honeymoon will soon be over. It won’t be long before the relationship will start to feel routine and you really start to come to know that person’s characteristics outside of your bed and your bedroom. Do you think for a moment that old issues won’t surface? Think again!

We will always attract similar people and similar situations until we finally understand our patterns or our lessons in this lifetime. Until you deal with your life properly then you will never be exposed to new environments, situations or surroundings.

So now what is easier, to deal with your life obstacles once and for all or to keep dragging baggage around all your life? You are not allowed to skip steps in life because it would defeat YOU being here on this plane in the first place. Praying and repeating affirmations all day long will not help you either. You still need to do most of the work yourself.

That is our sad story during a human lifetime. Our understanding for being here is totally misunderstood. We are misinformed about our be-ing, our spirit and our soul. For the ones who claim it takes a lifetime to fix yourself, just imagine that our soul wants us to fix (for example) 5 different lessons and experiences in one lifetime. Then it is going to take you 5 lifetimes coming back here to accomplish it. Dealing with your life and never feeling sorry for yourself should not take more than a lifetime. Six months to a year, with good intentions and a willingness to deal with your life is sufficient to put things into perspective. Don’t do it as if you were looking for a job. It is a whole job on its own and requires your full attention and dedication. After all you are worth it. If you think you have so many issues do not even look to the one on top of your list or your last experience. That experience is only an accumulation of what you never dealt with from your previous experiences. Just go straight to the bottom where, buried deep inside of you, the answer lies. I promise you, it works. Just stop making excuses for you not working on yourself.

Remember it is not about the experience or the lesson involved but more about how we deal with it in the first place. In the end, it is worth it to try. Once you decide to do something about your life, ask for help from the universe and the help will appear in front of you. Trust yourself and trust the universe around you.
