10 Wasted Years!
…or 5 wasted years….21 wasted years!
I’ve heard it before: you’re at the end of a relationship
and suddenly all the years of intimacy, giggles, tears, and trials have become
a huge WASTE.
Wait a minute! A waste? Really? Sounds to me like your years
have been years LIVED…explored…endured…enjoyed…an experience that you shouldn’t
negate because now your journey is at an end and you are facing transition.
Change can be intimidating – even scary – but that doesn’t
diminish your life experiences! An end (and consequently a new beginning) is a
time to reflect upon and thank and cherish the time spent with your partner.
You haven’t wasted
anything – you’ve experienced LIFE…you’ve loved, shared, and grown. You’ve been
on a journey…embrace it.
Don’t let your journey
become blinded by the destination.
The destination is but a
fleeting moment but the journey is your life.
You own your journey…You
don’t own the destination.
