Love this - “When you ask for help making a decision, remember that you shouldn’t really want the answer. You should want help finding the answer.” Really gave me something to think about. As did the whole article. I think I remake myself bit by bit.
Thank you so much for reading and sharing your take-aways, Donna! I love that quote, too! And I’m definitely a bit by bit and then a try AGAIN bit by bit remaker of my life! It’s how we make the best of ourselves, right? Never stop growing and going! Be well, Donna!
I also love the raft analogy. It certainly applies to my own life, particularly the pang associated with letting go of something in order to move forward. That said, the part of this post that gave me goosebumps is the connection to your own life and the way you described the mix of emotions associated with identifying your own raft and coming to the conclusion that it's time to put it down. Powerful writing, Nicole, and powerful living!!
I enjoyed the raft analogy so much and then felt pangs of recognition when you described your feelings around education and wanting to- not wanting to let it all go. I let it all go and it’s much lighter without the raft! Great writing. Thank you! ✨
