“Sometimes we struggle because we're isolated and out of gas. Sometime it's because we have a brokenness inside. And sometimes we are just being dumb. Make sure you know the difference, it will help” – Dr. John Townsend
John is one of my favorite authors, and he was so instrumental in helping me get out of the ditch when my life went south some 15 years ago. There are so many times in life when we are tired and out of gas and energy, and of course, there are the other times we are total dumbasses doing dumb things. He is 100% correct in the last sentence about making sure we know the difference.
The difference between situations is knowing how to recognize them for what they are and dealing/working with them accordingly. If you are tired, allow yourself to rest. If you feel broken internally, ask for help. That’s what I did, and it was the best decision of my life. If you are a dumbass and continue to do dumb things, the dumbassery will continue until you are in the position of making a hard choice. You do have options, ya know!
