A graceful fairy skates across the ice. She is in the flow,
and not fully aware of her surroundings, focusing on the skating and the decanter of liquid in her hand. Her hood is up blocking her peripheral vision.
Going on the marks left on the ice she’s been skating a
while. Is she simply happy to be in the moment, enjoying the dance, or is she
avoiding something? Does she not want to look and face the truth of the matter?
Which one are you doing? Be honest!
If you’re being realistic, looking at all sides of every
situation and overall enjoying going with the flow whilst keeping practical
expectations, carry on. That’s great.
But if you’re deceiving yourself, and others, burying your
head in the sand and not facing reality now is the time to stop.
If like this fairy you have been going round and round
always getting the same outcome maybe it’s time, to be honest with yourself. If
you go round again what will have changed? Nothing, unless you do something
different. So try something different.
Remember that you can’t go on like this forever. Eventually
the ice will thin and break, it will thaw, and the situation will force you to
make a change.
I know it can be difficult but aim to be brave and make
that change now before other factors force you to.
