Stop Running: The Thing Is Smaller Than You Think

There is something you have been running from. I know because running is what I do. Running is what most people do when the thing ahead looks too hard or too uncertain or too likely to end in failure. Running is the default. Running is the escape. Running is the way we avoid the thing that is waiting for us. We run by staying busy. By keeping the schedule full. By never stopping long enough to look at the thing we are running from. We run by staying in the relationship that is not working because leaving would require looking at why it is not working. We run by keeping the job that drains us because finding a new one would require admitting that this one is wrong. We run by performing okay every day because being honest about not being okay would require doing something about it.
