Quote: I, for one, am excited for you. The painful part is all that leading up to the decision. Once made, it should get easier. The words about losing all feeling, anger, hurt, resentment, etc, really struck a chord with me. I'm there now, waiting for something (or someone) to give me just a little nudge. I was almost there last week, but fell back to the safe, familiar, (unhappy) boring routine I now call my life. You have decided, and I am so happy for you. Again CD
Yes, without a doubt, the hardest part in all of this was making the decision, and then taking action.
I have to say. I was in a pretty bad car accident this past May. It was the second major car accident I've been in that I've walked away from (walking away being a relative word... survived is more appropo as I was hurt pretty bad).
I definitely came through that experience knowing I was in the bonus round. It was the thing that finally got me off the fence. I could have gone either way.
However, I do not recommend spinning across three lanes of Houston traffic and slamming into a cement wall going 65 m.p.h. as a means of 'waking up.' Waiting for the Near Death Experience to penetrate your thick skull is akin to playing with fire, IMHO.
Yes, there is agony involved with owning Who and What You Are, and deciding for yourself what you want in your life. I don't know that I will get all that I want and hope for, but will me, nil me, it is now up to me, and me alone, to go for the gold.
Thanks. Breathe in and out. The answer comes in quietly. Make sure you are listening.
