“Burning desire to be or do something gives us staying power - a reason to get up every morning or to pick ourselves up and start in again after a disappointment” – Marsha Sinetar
What matters? Sometimes instead of staying we need to learn how to start over.
I am happy that John Edwards' wife found her state of resillience and is not remaining in a situation that does not allow her to heal. The media has portrayed her life descending, pinned down by the hurt of infidelity. This week something new is happening and she no longer stays where her disappointment lives. She appears to have found her freedom plan and to be putting her life back in order. It takes a lot of courage to walk away from any situation when you really want to stay.
Throughout my life, I've wondered why we do it, why we stay. Some women stay stuck in a relationship that holds their heart hostage. Some women stay planted in jobs that don’t allow us to flourish. Some convince ourselves that we need the money more than we need to go somewhere. Even in friendship and other harmful relationship ties we can refuse to break free of people.
My mother also says many women stay lacking courage, options or alternatives. Fear of the unknown, she says, may keep a woman enclosed in the situations that bind her. Lack of resources also can keep a woman's life in captivity. And when emotions have us feeling unraveled, we don’t build escape plans for our life or find a new route to our joy and our happiness. A few of us, too, are going through life with the pain of the past and other secrets that also seem to stay and not let go of us. No one sees that you want to get away in spite of the reasons you stay.
What's the state of you? What are you staying in and should you come out? Are you a women who stays when you can't find your way? It's time to give the state of you a new day and to start life a new way.
