Why do we hang on to things when we know they no longer serve us?
Relationships that have soured beyond hope? Jobs we do not enjoy and that hold no promise of moving forward? Often, even the memories themselves fence us in.
Usually, the answer is some form of fear of change. There is a level of comfort in the status quo. The certainty of mediocrity outranks the risk of happiness.
The problem is that mediocrity is not a certainty. It tends to slide into annoyance, then anger, then bitterness. A point is reached where the joy once held is replaced more and more with the anger and resentment caused by lost opportunities. Soon, even the best memories fade into the darkness.
You will know when it is time. When there is no longer a purpose in pouring more water in the vase, then it might be time to replace the flowers. I want to help you with that journey.
