Prompt: In any given moment we have two options: to step forward into growth or step back into safety.” — Abraham Maslow It’s like being at a crossroads when safety might mean just more of the same. even if it’s not pleasant, it still feels a good choice because it’s familiar. How many women have stayed with abusive partners because they’re afraid to leave and step forward into growth if you like. The unknown is a scary place. This week I’ve almost pulled the pin on my upcoming surgery because I don’t know, can’t know, what the outcome will be. I could not have the surgery to reconstruct torn gluteal tendons and hope I’ll still be able to walk unaided in five or ten years time or bite the bullet, get it done and hope it improves my remaining years. If I decide against it then my deadline is Monday to let the surgeon know my decision. I’ve already had the same surgery on my right hip and know the long recovery and I’m not looking forward to repeating it on my left. Anyway today’s prompt sent my thoughts to me having to make what seems to be a difficult choice. Life is full of choices, we make them every day. Some are life changing. The biggest choice I made was to leave my family and country to live on the other side of the world where I knew no one. A leap of faith. That’s what we need to take, sometimes. |
