I need to place all things in life into a healthy, rational perspective and recognize that there is a need to back away from the uncontrollable and unchangeable realities of life.
I need to exercise emotional self protection and prevention so as not to experience greater emotional devastation from having hung on beyond a reasonable and rational point...

If I don't do this...

I will be blind to the reality that the people, places or things which control me are the uncontrollables and unchangeables I need to let go of if I want to become a fully healthy, coping individual.
I will probably put off making a decision and following through on it..if I rationally recognize my relationship with a person, place or thing is unhealthy and the only recourse left is to get out of the relationship.
