When you’re just done

Sometimes life will get the better of you. It’ll feel like all progress is gone and you’re back at square one. It’s easy to think about giving up at moments like that.

But I think those moments are actually times for reflection. A time for growth and a test of one’s resolve. Viewing challenges as future learning opportunities can be eye-opening.

I’ve had many such moments recently. When life seems hard again. When things seem bleak and everything feels off. Ironically, it’s those very times that life is offering you a choice.

You can remain stuck, or you can choose a new direction. When you’ve had it with the status quo, it’s time to call it quits. It’s time to be done with all of that and say, ENOUGH!

Enough with the bad behavior. Enough with the people-pleasing. Enough with all the fawning that was necessary to feel worthy. Those days are over.

There’s no looking back, only ahead. No matter what that looks like. Anything but resorting to the same old tired patterns that have grown stale with time and use.
