Endings ...

 

"We can shift our thinking around the impact of

the endings in our lives."

Alex Elle

Strength is needed to walk away from relationships that are not in alignment with who we have grown to become.  It is normal to reminisce and we may experience the 'pull' to return, but our energies are best invested in forward movement.

Clarity of what we desire helps us to remain positive and not get mired in the negativity of a departure.  No one has to be at fault, and there is no reason to declare a winner or loser. The discomfort we experience can be viewed as an agent for growth. 

As we embrace gratitude for beginnings and endings, we come to understand the process of change and the work remaining we are called to do.  If we focus on forthcoming healthy and inspiring connections, we can minimize our feelings of grieving, loss, and pain. 

Walking Away ...

 

"Walking away doesn't make you a quitter."

Alex Elle

Whether real or imagined, we may feel as though we are involuntarily fenced in.  There is always choice, however, as to whether you climb over or cut through the wires.  No matter which way one chooses, there is a need to answer the call of leaving.

There is a difference between being a quitter and being smart enough to know it is in the highest good of all involved to move forward.  It is in the ending that a new beginning emerges. When we move out of the darkness, we frequently become illuminated.

Time is precious, and it is not in our favor to waste it.  When we determine what, where, and who aligns with our truest nature, we need not wait for heightened struggles, conflicts or depravations.  If we find ourselves trying too hard, evaluation may result in walking away.
