When do you know it\u2019s time to walk away from something?<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve struggled with that question for a while. But in the last two weeks, I came to a realization \u2014 I had already walked away a long time ago.<\/p>\n
Yes, it makes me sad. But at the same time, I think I always knew it was going to happen eventually. I\u2019ve simply outgrown that part of my life journey.<\/p>\n
Life is made up of many journeys across different areas \u2014 personal, professional, and everything in between. Only the Big Man knows what\u2019s waiting at the end of the road. All we can do is trust that there\u2019s a bigger picture, even when we don\u2019t fully understand it.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve always believed that everything happens for a reason, whether we see it or not. I know that belief drives some people crazy, but when you really look back at life, it\u2019s hard to ignore.<\/p>\n
But I\u2019ve also learned something else\u2026<\/p>\n
Not everyone is meant to walk the entire journey with you.<\/p>\n
Some people are only there for a season \u2014 and sometimes, that season ends when growth begins.<\/p>\n
And sometimes, the hardest part isn\u2019t walking away\u2026
\nit\u2019s accepting that you already have.<\/p>\n
Because walking away doesn\u2019t always mean something broke \u2014
\nsometimes it just means you finally chose yourself.<\/p>\n
And that\u2019s not loss.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
