Wherever you go, there you are
Are you looking for the EXIT? Has the job, the relationship, the commitment turned toxic? Dysfunctional? Unfulfilling? When we recognize discomfort, it’s time to pay attention and start asking some tough questions.
What is it about this situation that is creating unrest? Am I putting more energy in than I am getting in return? Have I begun to think badly about myself or another person as a result of being a part of this interaction? How is this affecting other aspects of my life?
Before running away…again…pause long enough to explore what is truly going on inside our own minds and hearts. When we look closely, we may find that this thing we so desperately want to escape is triggering issues we must address to grow and develop on our own journeys. If we do the work now, we will be open to more fruitful opportunities, relationships and experiences. Asking ourselves, “Why does this keep happening to me?!” is a great first step. It’s time to explore the answer.
Make it a strong day!
