It's to a short article about being in stagnant, or even abusive, relationships and knowing when it's time to let go, walk away, and move on. Some of us (some more than others) know far too much about these kinds of relationships and how damaging they can be to ones own soul.
If you are in a relationship and can answer yes to some of these, perhaps it's time to rethink your goals, dreams, and ambitions in life; what it is you hope to accomplish and talk to your partner about it to get their input. If their response is favorable and encouraging, then there may be hope for the relationship. If you can answer yes to more than half of these, then you might want to rethink the relationship altogether and take the necessary steps to letting go. If you can answer yes to ALL of these then, as Athena said when she posted this, RUUUUUUN!
As I've said before, change is not easy. Making the decision to make changes is the easy part, it's the taking of steps to put those changes into effect that's the hard part. But, if you don't, no one else will. No one can walk your path but you. Sure, they can walk along side of you for a while, but they can't walk it for you because it is YOUR path. Not theirs.
My advice on this topic is simple really. Trust your intuition... it's connected to your heart, which is connected to your soul. It's something that I tell others frequently. In situations like this, when you don't know where to start, or who to listen to, my advice is listen to your heart... follow your heart because your head will lie to you and tell you what you want to hear, but not your heart.
Sure, sometimes it may lead you down a path of heartache, but it will NEVER lead you down the road of regret... your head will ALWAYS lead you down the path of regret, even if it seems the logical choice to make. Your heart is connected to your soul, and your soul knows what it's doing... trust it. Trust in yourself and KNOW that you WILL, eventually, end up exactly where you're meant to be. Life is far too short to stay in a stagnant, unhappy and/or abusive relationship that no longer grows you as a person. Listen to and follow your heart... it knows the way. Do what is necessary to preserve yourself and your dreams.
Bruce once said: "Seek Personal Liberation"
This means, to free yourself from what holds you back, even if that also means yourself. Seek solitude and time to reflect on your life goals. Sometimes in life, we are our own worst enemy. Often, we've been known to stand in our own way, hindering our own progress. If you find that you're doing this, then be still, close your eyes, take a deep breath or three, politely tell yourself to move out of the way, envision yourself moving out of the doorway of life, then open your eyes and take that first shaky step. You can do this! You have what it takes! Believe in yourself as I believe in you; as I believe in myself. Have faith that you can accomplish anything. And...
Please remember to be kind, most especially to yourself. Namaste'.
Peace, love, light, and blessings, my friend.

**By 'friend' I simply mean that I do not personally know Athena, but I wish I did. She's a very strong woman whom I admire and find inspiration in.
