The Point of No Return

I am willing to acknowledge...I am at the point of no return.

When you reach the point of no return in a particular situation, it means you have given all you can give, taken all you can take, learned all you can learn, taught all you can teach, been all you can be. You realize there is no hope of things getting any better, and you have done all you know how to turn things around. When you finally reach this point, please remember, this is not a bad thing. It is simply time to move on.

You will know when you have come to the point of no return when your joy is gone, your peace is at risk, you are groping for some meaning, you are looking for a reason. You are no longer mad. You can't even get angry.

When you come face to face with the point of no return, remember the good times, appreciate the joyful times, be grateful for any support, encouragement or contentment you experienced. Pack all of thos things in a corner of your heart and take them with you as you move forward. Acknowledge and accept that you may not be able to go back to what you had but that you have something to take with you on your new journey.

Until today, you may have resisted the need to move beyond the point of no return. You may have been looking for reasons to stay in an experience that no longer suits your needs. Just for today, acknowledge your needs and prepare yourself to pack and move on.
