One person I spoke with recently said: “It happened again!
My boss is a completely incompetent person.
It's a mystery how he ever got this position...
Why is it that wherever I work, I always end up with a hopeless boss?”
Here's another question, this time from an attractive woman. Three marriages, and a few unofficial relationships. “He did the exact same thing they all do!” What exactly did he (her current partner) do? “He cheated!!! They all cheat...”
It feels like the life stories of these people are stuck in some endless Groundhog Day.
Over and over, even as a person's circumstances change, the very same situation keeps repeating in their circle of relationships.
In the wonderful film “Groundhog Day,” Bill Murray's character learns to get a handle on himself and to find common ground with other people.
By changing his behavior, he eventually changes his thinking.
And only then, in a situation that seemed hopeless, does the hero find new possibilities.
Despair and hopelessness turn into warmth and the joy of connection.
The endless Groundhog Day becomes a chance: by changing yourself, you change the situation around you.
