“Great is the art of beginning, but greater is the art of ending.”
–Lazurus Long
The word for this month is “graduating”. A graduation happens anytime you end something so you can make space for something even better. Endings are powerful because they allow us an opportunity to shape our lives in a new direction. Though rarely convenient and often difficult, they give us a chance to choose a different path. They can also limit distractions that are keeping us stuck in one place. So if you’re in the mood to shake things up a bit, consider these 10 people or places worth graduating from.
- Graduate from places that consistently drain your energy. You’ll need stamina to serve.
- Graduate from people that make you doubt yourself. You’ll need confidence to serve.
- Graduate from places that breed fear in you. You’ll need courage to serve.
- Graduate from people that are making you resentful. You’ll need forgiveness to serve.
- Graduate from places that aren’t challenging you to be better. You’ll need to keep growing as you serve.
- Graduate from people that are making you boastful. You’ll need humility to serve.
- Graduate from places that are isolating you from diverse experiences. You’ll need understanding to serve.
- Graduate from people that are making you callous or indifferent to others. You’ll need compassion to serve.
- Graduate from places that give you a negative outlook on life. You’ll need a hopeful spirit to serve.
- Graduate from people that make you doubt your faith. You’ll end up believing in miracles when you serve.
