Patterns!

Patterns. It’s such an interesting word.

Did you know the word pattern comes from the Middle English patron, meaning a model or guide? It’s rooted in the Latin word patronus, which means protector or template.

I’m assuming template here! I’ve never been good at solving aptitude questions, especially those about identifying patterns. Even now, I struggle sometimes. But lately, I’ve started noticing patterns more clearly, both in myself and in the people around me. Not all patterns, just a few.

Some patterns are easy to spot on. They can either help you build something meaningful or quietly break things apart. Other patterns are hidden, and they can drag you down into abyss.

To notice those, you need a new perspective—a third eye or even a person.

Today, I broke a pattern. A small act of kindness from a friend distracted me.

Cute isn’t?

Is it necessary to identify a pattern and shape/break it?

Yes, for the benefit of yourself and others.

The only way to deal with patterns is through awareness. Once you spot them, you can either replace or break them. I know, it’s not easy!

What patterns do you see in yourself?

Cheers
