Standing alone doesn't necessarily mean that you are lonely. You can simply be in a place that allows you to see your surroundings through your own point of view. Where there are no distractions, no influencing thoughts by outsiders seeking your approval. Where you are your own coach, pushing forward and creating your picture.As you stand on the edge of something old and something new, you realize YOU make the difference. You control your destiny and you should be the one to make it great. You may stand alone, because others think you are stupid or because you don't agree with an idea you disagree with. You stand alone, but you are not lonely. For the ideas, the power, the energy, the truth, the passion that swirls through your body reminds you that great minds sometimes struggle for understanding, but never for acceptance.When all alone you stand, on the edge, at the beginning of something great, be sure the results show that you weren't lonely, just placing yourself in the line of action.
I was determined to make it work. Though the relationship had become stagnant and more time was spent arguing than enjoying each others company, I still felt the need to hold on. I had decided to throw in the towel, because it wasn't worth the headache or heartache, but some friends told me I gave up too easily. So there I was, an entire year past the expiration date, trying to make something out of nothing. The relationship had become stale. Maybe, just maybe, if it had ended at the appropriate time, a friendship would have remained. If I had listened to the wiser counsel of others and walked away, precious time wouldn't have been wasted. A year of my life wouldn't have been spent trying to start a car that no longer had a viable battery. But you live and you learn.Too often in life, we spend valuable time trying to jump start a car with a failing battery. Rather than evaluating the situation and making the necessary changes, we keep draining the little life that is left. Everything doesn't have to last forever. Sometimes people and situations have to be readjusted in our lives, in order for us to move forward. By holding on, we stagnate our own process.Changing the battery may be an unexpected cost, but keeping it beyond its working date may bring problems to the entire vehicle.
