THE NATURAL COURSE OF THINGS

"Know when to hold 'em. Know when to fold 'em."
~Kenny Rogers ~
 
Sometimes in life our lesson is not to try harder at something but to find the courage to walk away. Pushing stubbornly onward when our energy is spent gains us nothing. Relationships, jobs, and all kinds of efforts and pursuits and behaviors have a lifespan, and we need to learn to honor the natural ending of things.We waste so much time and effort on people and situations and outworn habits that we would do better by far to simply turn away from.
     Let's learn to appropriately bid adieu to all that has run its course in our lives and turn with curiosity in a fresh new direction.

I am willing to be honest about the things in my life that are naturally ending, and that will turn to dysfunction if I do not walk away. I am willing to walk away when the time is ripe.
