Growth Doesn’t Always Mean Leaving

A lot of people confuse evolution with escape.

They think:

“I need a new job.”

“I need a new relationship.”

“I need a new life.”

Sometimes you don’t need a new environment.

You need a new orientation.

You can quit a job or you can renegotiate how you show up in it.

You can leave a relationship or you can rebuild it with honesty.

You can burn everything down or you can take responsibility and mature inside it.

Starting over externally is easier.

Starting over internally requires courage.

But it’s the only kind of change that actually sticks.

Questions to ask yourself:

•Are you trying to leave, or are you trying to avoid discomfort?

•What would it look like to rebuild instead of restart?

•If you stayed exactly where you are, what would need to change for this to work?
