Ultimately, our readiness depends on the ping of a timer not in our hands. There is also the mystery of timing, feeling and responding to the opportune time. We don’t hang in there through thick and thin in a relationship or affiliation that really can work. On the other hand, there are times in life when we don’t stay long enough. I have done this too, maybe everyone has? The “what doesn’t work” can apply to relationships, jobs, addictions, chronic pain, unresolved conflicts, enmeshment in family drama, affiliation to a religion, organization, or institution-just about anything we become involved in. We have all stayed too long in what doesn’t work.
