One of the things I would like to deny about myself (but can’t) is that I have a tendency to bail on things.
When someone raises their voice to me, I’m ready to walk away.
When my life becomes what I feel I didn’t sign up for, I start seeing greener grass.
Whenever I’m in a funk, I start to consider other options.
Every time I’m in a rut, I seek my escape.
Basically, I have a tendency to want to do away with what no longer feels natural or easy to me.
Honestly, I didn’t even realize I was like this until about 2 years ago. I had just left my most recent job because I no longer liked being there. In fact, I had really grown to dislike it – a lot.
A few months after having left the position, I made a connection.
With the exception of being fired from a job I had many years ago (a weird story for another article), I have walked away from every job I’ve ever had.
I simply decided I had had enough, and left. Just like that.
I wasn’t a jerk about it. I gave two weeks notice, and in two cases, six weeks notice. But regardless, I decided it was time to bail.
Until making this connection, I had always wondered why other people stayed with things for so long.
And after making this connection, I started to see it as a lack of perseverance on my part. And then I started to see it in other areas of my life too. Relationships, exercise, diets, writing the novel I always said I was going to write…the list goes on and on. I have even considered abandoning this blog many times.
But wait.
