do we turn out like our parents? ( Archived) (35)

If someone you see everyday of your life makes the same mistake over and over every single day of their life, are we prone to making that/those mistakes in our future? for example alcoholism: family member drinks everyday. are we doomed to repeat their mistakes for the rest of our lives?

prone but not doomed.

It's a catch 22, which I hesitate to get into because I'm not in the mood for a huge debate tonight, which is odd.
So put simply, if you were raised a certain way, you have two choices. You can mimic the traditional behavior you grew up with, if that works for you, or if you disagreed with your upbringing, you have a mind, use it and don't do the things that you thought were wrong. There are genetic dispositions that are inherited, but that by no way means it will force you to choose the road that you want to follow.

if you can see what is doing is wrong,if you can admit that what you are doing is wrong.if you care enough not wanting to do the same mistakes over and over.in order to change you have to see what you are doing is wrong and you have to understand why it is wrong.than you have to admit to yourself it is wrong and why it was wrong.you have to be willing to look deep inside of you.no one can do it for you nor can anyone make you do it.you have to be willing to do it.you have to be willing to change yourself from withing.anyone can change if they want to,if there is a will and they are willing to do it than yes they can change.long ago i was taught this and it was true when i was taught it.all we have is today on this new day we have been giving all we can do is our best.no one can ask of us to do or try to do our best.when you lay your head down to sleep you know in your heart you have done your best on that day.that we have to live our lives 1 day at a time.for we are not promise a tomorrow we are only giving today.to live this day with no regrets on what we did or said on the day we was giving.that when we lay our head down that might been our last day that we will that day with no regrets.do not worry about what we did or said yesterday for that is in the past.it was today but now it is yesterday it has come and gone.there is nothing we can do to change what has already past all we can do is to accpet what we did and what we said.yes yesterday we made mistake but on this new day if we learn from our mistake of yesterday than we will not do it today.before we do or say anything we must ask oursevles is this right or wrong.if it is right than we do it,if it is wrong than we do not do it.if it is the right thing to say than we say it,if it is not the right thing to say than we do not say it.if we think before we do or say anything than we will not have anything to regrets if tomorrow comes.do not worry about yesterday for it has already came and gone and there is nothing you can do to change it.we are not promise a tomorrow and we cannot do nothing until it comes.which leaves today and only today to do our best and live today with no regrets.if you want to change you can,if you do not want to change than you will not.it is up to you to decide what you want to do

what if you realized it too late?

nevermind, stupid question, it's never too late to change

My dear, that is why we have tommorow. Mistakes are the things that make us stronger and smarter, if you learn from them.
