Generational Cycles

When you look at a analog clock and you see the clock go around and around you probably don’t pay very much attention to it right? But when it’s time to set the clock backwards or forwards or if the battery dies and the clock stops I am sure you notice it than right? Well this reminds me how generational cycles are. What do you mean you ask? I will tell you. When your in a generational cycle of abuse, cheating being cheated on over eating, negativity, poverty, anger etc. Most people can’t see the cycle they are in until one of two things happens; one, an event takes place in there lives and they have a light bulb moment or two someone from the outside (outside there family) reveals it to them. One of the reasons why cycles are generational is because no one sees them to break them or no one wants to do the work to break them (and let me tell you, it is hard work).So let’s quickly distinguish the difference between a generational cycle and a generational curse. So the curse is the actually issue such as the drugs, alcoholism, lust, cheating, poverty etc. the cycle is the repetitiveness of the curse. It happens over and over again down the family line. So how do we break these cycles, Well I believe there is a generational cycle breaker in every family generation the question is does that cycle breaker rise to the occasion and take on the task of breaking the cycle? Well if the cycle is still repeating it’s self than most likely they did not. So, how do you know if your the cycle breaker in your family? Well I am so glad you asked, once you become aware of the cycles in your family and you find that it bothers you and you want it to end, than your probably the cycle breaker for that generation of your family. Now be warned, being the cycle breaker is not easy. It means you may be outcasted, rejected and talked about; why, well because you are shaking up the traditional comfort zone of your family line. Your destroying dysfunctional mindsets that have become accepted and normal. Your stopping the “that’s just how we do things around here” or “my momma did it and her momma did it so I may as well do it too”. Now I want you to also keep in mind that being the cycle breaker comes with rewards, and that is your freedom and the freedom of the generation after you! You may not be able to save the generation before you so don’t worry about that. All that means is the cycle breaker before you dropped the ball for your generation but you don’t have to drop the ball for the next generation. It takes a boldness to do this but it can be done! Trust me, I know from first hand experience. So the key thing I want you to remember about breaking cycles is it’s intentional. You have to purposely do the opposite or you will subconsciously do the same thing. I will give you an example, in my family line alcoholism runs very strong. To break the cycle in my family I decided not to drink at all. That is my way of defeating alcoholism out of my life and giving hope for the future which are my children. I’m not saying you have to be as drastic as me but you have to do something to make it STOP or the cycle will keep repeating. So are you a cycle breaker?
