We are told by the Albert Einstein meme that "trying to have a different result by using the same method, is the definition of madness"; and by the new age therapists that "life will give us the same lesson until we learn it". Today I invite you to look at the nuances that can be made that make these statements inaccurate. There is quite a lot of learning that is achieved by means of making a mistake, it's called apophatic learning. When we repeat it, there are small changes, in the time, in the perspective; even if it seems to be the same mistake, there is always something different, and always something new to learn.
Don't guilt yourself over stumbling onto the same mistake or problem again. Don't tell yourself it's because you haven't learned. You have, yet you or something else has chosen to put the same situation in your path again. Maybe it's not a mistake, it's an opportunity. And shouldn't we love opportunities?

No one can make a wrong decision about the future because a present decision does not create a future event. Present decisions can only create present events. A decision does not make the future turn out a certain way. It’s how you continue to think after making a decision that makes the future turn out the way it does.
