KNOW WHEN TO WALK AWAY

In humans, knowing when to walk away happens when we are certain the relationship or circumstance we find ourselves isn’t beneficial anymore and its done having an honest conversation with oneself. It is believed to be the unfolding of an unpredicted future, though the act happens to be a difficult step to go through but yet life changing. The decision, little in words but mighty in one’s action always has either a positive or a negative effect on our relationship irrespective of our gender, age, background, belief and race.

 Whether it’s a job, relationship or a friendship, we need to walk away from things that no longer serve us or positively contribute to our lives. That’s not to say that we should immediately abandon a meaningful relationship when the roads get rocky but its okay to choose to walk away if you gave your all or even if you didn’t. The ability to walk away isn’t as easy as it looks, the fears of making the wrong or right decisions are real but going through the fear is what makes you be at peace.
Knowing when to walk away starts with you acknowledging your self-worth and refusing to accept anything lesser than your standard. Walking away doesn’t mean you are weak but an attribute of the strong because of the sheer difficulty of it and the willpower it entails. Know when to let go and when to move on, not everything bad that happens in your life is your fault, we live in a world of chaos. Things just happen sometimes. 

HOW TO KNOW THE RED FLAGS TO LOOK OUT FOR AND JUST WALK AWAY

Patterns: the ability to know when to walk away goes hand-in-hand with your ability to look beyond grandiose actions, nice words and even personality. Words mean nothing without actions backing it up. Just like actions supersede words so does pattern supersede actions. Actions are great but anyone can do something chivalrous. Everything you want to know about someone’s character and emotional intelligence can be found by taking a look at their pattern.

A Weird or Inappropriate Relationship with a Family Member, Friend or an Ex: a boundary-less relationship with any of the above listed that will make you question your values, their values or sexuality should make you walk away.

Always the Victim

Selfish and Shows Very Little Interest In Your Life

They Compulsively or Pathologically Lie and apologies mean nothing to them.

You Are Always the One Doing the Decoding, Understanding, Bending and Empathizing

They Are Total Hypocrites, There’s Always a Double Standard in

their Definition of Success, Love, Monogamy, Honesty, and Respect 

 

The most life-saving, transformative, confidence-instilling and powerful thing that you can master in this life is the ability to know when to walk away especially from things that will put your limits, boundaries, standards, happiness, peace and sense of reality up for negotiation. Just because you aren’t directly hurting other people like they are doesn’t make you any better for hurting the one person you will never be able to emotionally survive the cost of devaluing, hurting, belittling, and beating down…YOURSELF, so know when to walk away.
