If it’s The Last Straw, it doesn’t have to be a Never-Ending Story
The Last Straw has happened many times for many people. Sometimes it has felt like a Never Ending Story (without the cute Luck Dragon), and somehow the line between wishing and action has remained blurred. Until now.
You probably know many brave and courageous people who reached the point of “Enough!!” when they encountered “The Last Straw”, and made a decision to change. It may have been ending a toxic relationship, quitting ci******es, beginning a weight-loss journey, ending employment ... there are so many things that bring us to that point.
For some, the pressure from others and the very circumstances that caused them to be in that situation in the first place, continued after they made an internal resolution to change things. Just as water can erode rock, their best of intentions were slowly worn down and they lost sight of their hopes and dreams. Instead of congratulating themselves for their brave decision, and using the obstacles to learn more and develop strategies, they often felt guilty, that they had let themselves down, or were a failure. Sometimes they felt worse about themselves than they did before, and sometimes felt so beaten down that they would never try again.
Something as simple as someone who had been through it too, who understands, who can offer support and resources, or even some light-hearted humour at the right time, could have made the difference between giving up and continuing to perservere against all odds.
