We hold on because we’re afraid of the void that comes after, forgetting that the void is actually the space God uses to breathe new life into our world.
Things You’ll Be Grateful You Walked Away From:
the relationship that required you to lose yourself
the friendship that survived on your over-functioning
the path everyone said was right for you (but felt wrong in your spirit)
– Jacqueline Whitney
the job that was draining your soul one day at a time
the version of love that left you constantly anxious
the dream that was actually someone else’s vision for your life the family dynamic that kept you small
the group of people who only valued the version of you that needed them
the conversations that drained you and never filled you
the space where you had to perform to belong
the cycle you kept hoping would end on its own
the person who only chose you when it was convenient
the path everyone said was right for you (but felt wrong in your spirit)
the comfort zone that was slowly killing your potential
the connection that had history but no future
Jacqueline Whitney is the author Held: A 50 Day Devotional For Parents and All That You Deserve.
