We have all been there.
Your love is being abused. You feel horrible about yourself. You know that you should walk away from that person who is taking advantage of you but you can't muster up the courage to do it.
Everyone has been there. For our own sake, we have to respect ourselves to walk from bad situations where we are being used and move on.
There's this really interesting art in leaving people who don't treat you well, respect you enough to reply to you, or don't act like you mean much to them.
On one hand you want to be close with as many potential people as you can and you reach out making an attempt to meets new friends. On the other hand you have this respect for yourself and pride in how you act.
The middle ground is difficult to find sometimes.
What's the indicator you need to take care of yourself and walk away from something?
There's nothing wrong with having high standards in your life as long as you are prepared to follow them yourself and leave when you are being abused. Most of the time people struggle because they don't have the integrity to follow what their gut is telling them and they stay in relationships far longer than they should.
However, when you start to learn really what you are worth, you find it easier and easier to walk away from people who don't love you and respect you.
This doesn't at all mean that doing this isn't a painful process. It can be incredibly painful.
But what hurts more is staying in something and losing all sense of yourself and knowing you could have saved yourself months or even years earlier.
Have the courage to walk away.
The only thing to keep in mind here is that people often come back after you have walked away from them because they start to see just how much you are worth. The second art form is understanding when to give second chances and when to continue moving on with your life.
If you're heart continues to tell you that whatever is in front of you isn't good for you, stick to your guns. Stick to your guns at all costs because if you ignore what you know you should do the amount of pain coming your way is substantial.
If you want to live a truly brilliant life, you have to devote yourself to never settling. Never settle for "good enough" because eventually that will turn into mediocrity. Instead, aim as high as you can because even though you will never achieve perfection, you will hit something called "excellence."
And living a life full of love and excellence is the way to go.
