Sometimes we search for so long that we forget the goal, or the goal has been lost. So much other has happened that the original goal hardly matters anymore. It's important to remember here that the answer was always right there in front of you, either it wasn't being given clearly or you didn't want the answer you were seeing, but it was in fact probably right there.
It was probably during that time of comtemplation that you needed to stop, were you waiting on someone else to make a decision for you? We say no but in actuality, if we allow something we aren't happy with to continue, then I do believe that we were giving the other control to decide what would happen.
I know that sounds confusing, especially if you are relating it to the old saying "If you love something, let it go"
But that's it exactly, you have to let it go. It's not your struggle, it's not your fight and it's not your right. Therefore, all your left with is what you choose to do and it's not dependent on what someone else does or doesn't do.
It's up to you to make that decision prior, we should all have values and a stance and we should never be afraid to take that stance. It should be deep within us, like the fact that we know we would never commit murder or adultery, etc. It shouldn't never be questioned. And the pain comes from being that passive person that forgot what he/she stood for to begin with.
You opened the door to pain and therefore have allowed it.

I completely agree. If we are waiting, then we are waiting for something or someone, for something to happen that has not happened yet. How can we move on unless we know what it is? But somehow we do know, once it happens, and life once again goes into motion. No longer on hold, we are free to grow. Great post, Angie!
