Stuck

Can you really expect a different outcome when you continue the same actions?  Of course not...

So what is it that drives us in directions that we don't want to go.  Why can't we break through the repetition and move into something new.  Where is the control? New thoughts, new dreams, new actions?  How do we stop the viscousness of it all. When, where, how does it stop.  Even if only internally, this repetition is paralyzing.  Is this the beginning of insanity?  What then?

I'm stuck.
