The Gift


There is a gift in life that is typically life changing in some manner.  It is the gift of goodbye.  Sometimes the best thing for us is either to hear or say goodbye to a relationship, a job, or friendship that is unhealthy.  Some are easy and others bring a fair amount of challenge and angst.  Ending relationships always leaves a mark of some sort.  Changing jobs typically has a little sadness and uncertainty and we leave comfort of people and situations and step into the unknown.  I’ve walked out of lives and jobs and have had people walk out on me.  Without fail, each one was tough, but in retrospect, it was the right thing at the right time.

I think we know when it is time for the gift of goodbye, but our egos and insecurities do not always work with us to execute.  We allow ourselves to stay in situations in hopes they will change, but on the inside, we typically know when it is time.  Take stock of your life and see if it is time to give or receive the gift of goodbye.
