“When we long for a life without…difficulties, remind us that oaks grow strong in contrary winds and diamonds are made under pressure”
Peter Marshall
So now I’m standing at the crossroads and I’m really looking for some signposts here….do I stay in Auckland for a while longer? Do I look for jobs in Tga? Is it too soon? Why wait? Michael is keen. So am I, so what’s stopping me from just going for it? I need some guidance, that’s what I need. I am ready to move away from my present employment, given the unhealthy behaviours that I’ve seen there. These are behaviours which have become embedded over time and stem from God knows how many unhealthy people getting away with working in unhealthy ways for years, and it’s all been allowed to continue for far too long. Now it seems almost impossible to stop, and I don’t want to be a part of it any more. I was in an unhealthy place and relationship when I started there, and I have to leave it behind. I can’t fix it, it’s too much for me. I’m still recovering from what Greg did to me and I need some peace. I KNOW that there’s a better place for me to be. It’s just that there are no opportunities for me – I still have 2 mortgages and I have to live.
Christina was a signpost for me, I guess, and pointed me to a good place, and Julia has put a thought into my head which I will act on today but it would be really nice to just know what I need to do…..
