Status Quo or Status Go?

To go or not to go. That is THE question. If you're miserable in a relationship, the lack of one, your job, your town, your house, etc..... you've answered the question. GO! Change is in your future. Ah, but change is uncomfortable. Why else do so many of us make the same mistake over and over? Why the familiar path is much more comfortable as we already know where it comes out. No surprises. Outcome guaranteed. But if the outcome is a constant state of unhappiness, isn't it time to move on?

Give it a try. Do some homework first. Examine your positives and put them in stars. Be honest about the negatives of change, but don't give them more attention than they deserve. For each negative in your column, list an alternative or way to turn it around to a positive.
Talk to yourself. When were you last happy? Did you have a dream you gave up for a more practical route? Are you willing to step back and take some baby steps to get where you want to be? Where do you really want to be? Advice, who knows you better than you? No one.

Perhaps David Lee Roth of Van Halen said it best: "Go ahead and jump."
