Doubt and the tenderness of vulnerability have plagued me for weeks while working hard for a goal I’ve dreamed of for decades. I rationalized for years why I couldn’t do this. And once I started the process, I’ve thought about throwing in the towel multiple times. I just didn’t realize until this week the real reason I wanted to quit was to avoid my feelings.

Some important relationships were requiring intensive attention, and I needed to focus on figuring out what my role was in each relationship. It’s never pretty looking in the mirror, but always worth it in the end.
It’s easy to think relationships are strong when times are good.
But when things go awry, you find out what the relationship is really made of.
