Recently I was talking with someone about turning points that we have in life. Do you know what I mean? Those times we all experience that serve as a turning point in our life - it turns us away from something detrimental and towards something beneficial, turns us away from a toxic relationship so we can move toward a healthy one, etc. Turning points are usually those things that we experience and see as a huge step but others, even our spouses, may look at and shrug their shoulders like, "It isn't THAT big of a deal." But we know don't we? We know it really IS that big of a deal. We know that no matter how small or insignificant it looks or looked like to others that for us it was huge. It was monumental. It was game-changing. It was life transforming. And maybe eventually others will see it really is a big deal and maybe they won't. No matter. It was a turning point for regardless. And nobody else's response or lack of response to our moment should diminish its work in our lives. The conversation I had led me to reflect on some of the turning points I've experienced in the past few years. I'm so incredibly grateful for those turning points. They have helped refine me and discover who I really am. What about you? What turning points can you think of for your life that were huge for you but nobody else seemed to think so?
I've been thinking about it for over a month. Usually, when I'm in it I'm engaged. But this time? I started it indifferent and I've felt indifferent all along. I should have never started. Hindsight is 20/20 they say and they aren't wrong. So when I opened my eyes this morning it was clear. It's time. Time to quit this 365. This is the first 365 that I haven't posted several of the days, the first 365 that I wasn't super excited about, the first 365 that I've quit. I've changed my social media presence and interactions the past year so this is also the first 365 that hardly anyone has been interested in. Is it the topic or my decision to not be as accessible on social media? Or is it some other reason altogether? Well, regardless...I'm throwing in the towel on this one. I can't say if I'll ever do another 365 again. Time will tell and I will know if and when it's time.
