Where Will My Ticket Take Me?

Let's give yourselves what we need to get what we want.

Often, I think, “I wish someone else would do this awful thing that only I can do.”

The awful thing could be setting a boundary, ending a project or relationship, or saying “No” to a request.

Every day we do what’s hard. We can struggle because of worrying about how someone else may feel about our decision or worrying that someone who took advantage of us will now be hurt because we set a boundary.

Let’s give ourselves a ticket, a permission slip so to speak, to do what’s necessary without feeling the guilt or worry.

Let’s take a ticket that leads to the end place where we rest in the knowledge we’ve done something hard that’s necessary for our own quality of life. With that ticket, we keep moving, skipping the drama, the hand-wringing and the second-guessing.

When we use that ticket, we jump to the front of the line of our own life.

We can remind ourselves we have a ticket to improve our quality of life that skips the guilt trip by asking ourselves this question to start our day: “Where will my ticket take me?”

Where will you land because you gave yourself a compassionate ticket?
