Choo Choo Train Approaching!

The first step towards getting somewhere is to decide you are not going to stay where you are.  Talking about change and having good intentions will not be sufficient to make a break through.  Unfortunately talk quickly dissipates and you are left with the same consequences, concerns and circumstances.  Moreover, changing something important seldom depends on a single action or person. It involves others and jointly committing to giving a new season or new adventure a real go.  It implies a momentum forward towards the goal and not merely a discussion or a brief dabble into the pros and cons.  Having said that it is an excellent action to make such a list because often we say it flippantly that we should list the positives and negatives of every decision before we take it but we seldom actually have the courage and trust in one another to voice the full story and see what action is best to take.  We sometimes prefer to not inflict hurt or pain on others and so we insulate them and protect them.  Sometimes we don't have the energy to craft a complete reply or resolution to the problem we face.  Sometimes we even get frustrated because the message we are trying to convey does not reach the ears of the correct person and often we simply give up before we get to the true solution because we determine or presume that the other person just does not see the perspective we want them to.  Although none of these outcomes may be desirable  they are part of life and we might learn something from them, all be it that the answer is less than favourable.  Ultimately we may have to go at certain things alone and sometimes when we least expect it the fact that we made an intentional motion towards something results in a chain of events that gathers momentum to a new station and a fresh start.
