Friendship. It’s something I value. But sometimes we can’t go back to the way we were. So the healthiest thing to do in any relationship, especially those that hold us back, is to move on.
I know how agonizingly difficult this is. I’ve experienced some fairly big losses the past four years. A client project that was riding the highs of making impact until it was sabotaged, and there was some trust fall out that was hard to repair. With some of the folks there, I’ve had to say goodbye to the way things were. I’ve lost business partners, and the recent abruptness of the departure has impacted how I feel about the relationship. Even if we socialize, I can never look at the relationship the same. I’ve lost a friend who suddenly stopped communicating with me. I sometimes still wonder what happened. But I know things won’t be the same, so I’ve moved on. And I have had to intentionally let go of unhealthy, maybe even co-dependent relationships. The kind that fulfill a void but maybe create more dysfunction.
Whatever the situation, it can (and probably will) take years. But time is elastic. So move with it’s fluid ups and downs and accept that this is the hand most of us are dealt in life. You are not alone.
Your mission to achieve Superhumanness: Move on. Put yourself first, for a healthier state of mind. The idyllic is no longer reality. So let it go. Unhook your anchor and clear your head. And then lend a hand to someone who could use a friend, an advisor or a kind gesture. We need to be present for one another. Being human is messy business. #selfcarefirst
Be kind along your journey and remember, you got this!
