Your turn


Love this post. Thanks!

I read this quote by Steve Jobs a while ago.

"Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become... .The only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle"

Breaking up with my ex provided a space to discover my purpose. I have worked hard at recovery, and rediscovered my passion for business, renewable energy and education. I'm combining these interests and my talents in creative ways.

Instead of pushing my way forward, I feel pulled towards something. There is a big difference. We only have a limited about of willpower to push. But there is unlimited energy when we are pulled towards our purpose.

If that ain't some truth... .That was the whole reason I left. I dunno if my ex had BPD but we were codependent and I'd been with someone that qualified before. This ex never truly understood why I left, instead she just said I wasn't ready for a relationship... .Which was true in a sense. It's important to have time for yourself, space to discover what you want, and there's nothing wrong with that.
