Is Walking Away Bad OR Wrong? My curt reply: YES and NO. It is that BAD and WRONG if you WALK AWAY arbitrarily, for no credible reason OR rational at all. BUT if did your soul-searching enough to reach your informed decision, WALKING AWAY could be the correct move after all. WHETHER it's about relationships, your job OR even your business forays, WALKING AWAY from a situation could be your way to regain control of a situation that's going deep south faster than you thought📗📙📘
Reality here is that life can be an absolute whirlwind, throwing unexpected curveballs your way [WHEN you DIDN'T even least expect it]. And sometimes, you end up finding yourself stuck in situations that seem like a test of your strength, resilience OR even your character. Been there, done that. YES dude, I did survive. True, it's NOT only battling with WHAT seems are impossible decisions to arrive at but more often, you get caught between the need to stand your ground and that urge to run as far from the situation as possible. Seriously, describing it as a dilemma will be a gross understatement💦💦💦
Thing is, it's NOT always about fireworks OR call it 'epic showdowns' because at times, it is a seemingly quiet voice at the back of your head whispering and counselling you that it's time to STEP BACK, even though every ounce of you is screaming NO WAY because likely, you prefer the status quo. WHAT I learned in my journey till to date is that WALKING AWAY [be it from the workplace OR in any other endeavor you're in] ISN'T always a sign of defeat at all. On the other hand, it could be a manifestation of of your 'brave act' of self-preservation, a necessary step towards better things you deserve. Let's rattle off a sampling of those difficult situations you need to grapple with:
- Jobs [or workplace] that UNDERMINUES your value
- Friendships where RECIPROCITY is an unknown word.
- Expectations that limit your AUTHENTICITY [and that's tricky]
Our takeaway: Let's NOT miss the boat. Let us NOT get caught with our head dug deep into the sands if only to extricate ourselves from a situation that is potentially escalating. Our take: Extricate yourself from the sand, face the mirror, assess the situation in the most thorough approach possible before you end up in an informed decision because WALKING AWAY is NOT always BAD or WRONG😑😑😑
