Most of us have been there.
We've been in a situation where our love is being abused, we feel horrible about ourselves and we know we should walk away from the person who is taking complete advantage of us but are finding it very hard to.
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.
How do you say goodbye to someone without losing yourself, burning bridges, or disrespecting the person across from you? Tough question. But if you lead from your heart and speak your truth you can hardly go wrong.
This can be incredibly hard to do at times.
At what point do you hold your head up high and walk away from the relationship?
Your heart. Let your heart tell you what to do. The funny thing about our heart is that it usually knows exactly what we need but it's our mind that tends to override all of it. When you dig into your heart you give yourself the best opportunity to take care of yourself and move forward.
When you know what you're worth, you won't put up with other people treating you badly.
Now I'm not saying that this process isn't painful - of course it is. But in the end you will be much happier in the long run.
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.
Be courageous and 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.
However, it's important to always remember exactly what you are worth and what you are looking for in your life. If you negotiate for anything less, you can really get the bad end of the deal.
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."
Never settle for a mediocre life. It's time to level up.
