When we decide to do things that we have never done before, it requires courage.
Courage is a character trait needed when engaging in new and uncomfortable places.
Not only are we walking away from our comfy places, but also our familiar faces.
Not saying our relationships are all changing, but we will certainly have new faces moving forward.
It is often said, that people change on you or walk away from you when you decide you want more.
My experience is that change can be either side.
If my friends stay the same, doing old things and I move away to pursue new things; change is inevitable.
As sad as it sounds, we really can not relocate and carry everyone with us.
Wanting to take the next step, or go to the next level in your life is both rewarding and awkward.
Although we want the new, we must decide to let go of old things.
Letting go, sounds easy, but when we have invested time into relationships it can be painful.
So many people decide they would rather avoid the pain than deal with it.
In the long run, those same people stay in immobile and later have regrets.
To avoid the conversation “of would a, could a, and should a” be daring enough to jump!
Transitions are always going to require more than we want to give.
There is no way we can have success without sacrifices.
We definitely can not make moves without boldness.
Listen some one will be hurt by your decision to do what is best for your life.
Trying to please everyone, may cost you to miss the opportunity that is yours.
I am not saying dismiss everyone’s feelings; I am saying once you take them into account you still must make the best decision for you.
Your decision may be met with rejection or criticism.
Those who were once cheering you on, may turn on you.
Words may not kill, but words from those we love can certainly wound us.
No matter how we try to avoid the pitfalls of the next big move, we won’t.
We may have to cry.
There may be times we have to encourage ourself.
Then the moments of building new relationships will be important.
Once a decision is made for the change, a shift will happen.
When the shift happens, we will need courage to exit and also enter.
