Got it Figured Out?

By Lori Lines

SO… YOU THINK YOU’VE GOT IT ALL TOGETHER NOW?
You think you’ve finally figured it out?
Do you?


Funny how life loves to test that theory.


Just when you think you’ve climbed out of the pattern, healed the wound, risen above the trigger—bam—you’re back in it.
Maybe not as deep, maybe not for as long, but it still shows up.


Why?


Because healing isn’t linear.
Growth isn’t a one-and-done.
Sometimes the pattern circles back—not to punish you, but to check your integration.
To show you what still stings.
To remind you that you’re human.


But also…
To offer a new angle.
A fresh perspective.
Something you couldn’t see before—because you hadn’t lived this part of the story yet.


It’s not always a setback.
Sometimes it’s just rounding out your healing.
Adding depth, wisdom, and grace where there used to be rawness.


So be gentle with yourself when the old version of you whispers back in.
It doesn’t mean you’ve failed.
It just means you’re being given another opportunity to respond differently.


And that is progress.

In love and truth,
