Leaving This Place – Part One

As many of you read this, you may discover that you are in a particular place and space in your life that is , and has been perhaps for quite some time,  challenging, difficult, and stressful. Some are in a place of emotional bankruptcy. The scars, scrapes, and scuffs left by the person or persons in your family or inner circle of so-called friends, have worn you down and out.  

Still others are grapling with financial, health, and spiritual  confrontations that have left you in a place of exhaustion, fatigue and weariness!  How you arrived at this place in your life really does not matter. The reality is you are here. And the all-embracing, predominant, and prevailing question is what are you going to do about it?

  You can leave the place of discontent, regret, and uneasiness. 

1. Decide you  want to leave this place you find yourself in!  The reality is that while many people complain about where they are in life, when it comes down to it, many are comfortable in a complaining place.

2. Count the cost! As you prepare to embrace the challenge of leaving dissatisfaction, heartbreak, failure,etc. you have to assess what you will have to give up in order to leave the place you are in. What if it cost family relationships?  What if it cost friendships?  There is the old adage “blood is thicker than water, but many of us find ourselves addicted, behind, and damaged because of family. Are you prepared to respectfully cut off anyone and or anything close to you that is killing you and keeping you stuck in the stagnant place?

3. Believe!  If you don’t believe you can, YOU WON’T!  Step out on faith and begin to look for resources, individuals and organizations that can help you leave the suffering place of sadness and discontent.
