Bits and Bob's that I have learned

I have learned that there are times that the Universe will make you so uncomfortable that at some point you will have no choice but to move on. The more you ignore the gentle nudges the harder the pushes will get. Sure there are those who will fall back into what they know because it is "safe" it is the known. They will choose to stay in the same hamster wheel they are on, but at there will come a time the Universe will shove them off the wheel. To dig in your heels and fuse to change is to do yourself a disservice.

They may feel they are being admirable and "doing the right thing" in truth they are selling themselves short, giving themselves half a life and yes, settling. There is nothing to be gained by settling, make oneself a martyr. There is nothing noble about it, it's sad, no tragic really. To those who are hanging on to a partner, because you are afraid of what the universe has planned for you, in truth you are sentencing the both of you to less than. Less than what you are, what you can accomplish what you can become.

You are limiting the both of you. Reducing you both and honestly, that's a damn shame. Holding someone back is nothing to be proud of - no matter who it is, you or someone you say you love. Listen to the gentle nudges of the Universe. When you get to the end of your life make sure you choose it - make sure lived the hell outta of it, leave behind wonderous tales and not looks of pity and stories that start well he/she had this opportunity BUT... that is life wasted, not a life lived..
