Proverbs 26:11 Like a dog that returns to its vomit is a fool who repeats his folly.
DO NOT IGNORE YOUR EXPERIENCE(S)
Negative history repeats itself because we don't learn from it. As we live our lives daily, we are writing history unconsciously. Our experiences form a bulk of the content of that history. Some persons keep repeating the same mistake over and over again. Most times, those in this quagmire always think they're jinxed. Often, it has nothing to do with jinxes or curses. There's an adage that says, "when a running child falls, he rises not asking to know the reason for the fall but if an adult falls, the first thing he'll do is to know why he fell". That adage depicts what we should do with experience. If we're to make decisions that are not new or similar to the previous, we need to always ask "why did I fail previously"?
Experience is a good teacher. Some say it is the best teacher but I take an exception to that. The Holy Spirit is the best and the greatest teacher. However, experience has its role to play in our decision making process. It is unwise to ignore past experience(s) in areas where we have failed in the past. We are meant to learn from the mistakes of the past so that it won't repeat itself. You do this by telling yourself the truth. The hardest person to tell the truth is yourself. It takes a high level of sincerity and maturity to admit our mistakes. We inherited this syndrome of not wanting to accept responsibility for our errors from Adam, that's why we don't learn from experience.
Before you make that decision, consult your past experience(s) to know why you made bad decisions. Those who told us to ignore our past didn't tell us a complete truth. If you look into past experiences with the eyes of a learner, you will pick a few lessons that will be useful for the future. If you've had series of broken relationships, you may need to look back to trace where you've been missing it repeatedly. The little things we ignore in our past experience may be the cause of our repeated woes. If you're about to make a decision that is new, you can learn from the experience of others. Do not ignore experience, it gives us clues.
Look at past experience(s) and draw lessons from there before making the next decision.
