Exit Stage Right...Decison

   There comes a time when one must quit , not stop. "Stop" indicates that you will begin again, but quitting, well, there's resolution. There is no restart button or plans to add. The end is hard, flat and precise. Think of past relationships , careers and small tasks. You begin wide-eyed and open to receive everything it's willing to give until that which you are receiving is no longer desired . The want for more, better, will exist as long as we live until one doesn't want to quit or stop. Continuation is best suited for the after life because the human body will never be completely satisfied . This brings upon countless upgrades and inner renovations.  

   Although starts are mostly good, ends are necessary for new things, brighter days, and better moments. The end can be ugly, but beautiful as well, like the Beatles. They were a phenomenal band, making countless albums filled with experimental sound and classic lyrics. They begin to go their separate ways, thus making Abby Road their final record, and what better way to resolve their path than to end their collections with the song "The End". I love the onset of the song--the electric guitars and Ringo killing the drums before Paul and John scream "Love you!" through the microphones. It reminds me of That 70's Show theme song,  but that's besides the point.  Despite their separation , they can't ignore the beauty they've created through their career. Their musicianship established standards mimicked by artists of all genres. Where would our ears be without them ?

   The question in our case is where would you be if you hadn't quit that destructive relationship , that soul-draining job that never had benefits heavy enough to outweigh the agony , or even that habit eating away at you chance at enjoying the sober life? It is time that you grab hold of that which God gave you...which is now. You may be concerned with your current situation, wondering why things aren't moving in the direction as they should. Your initial step is probably what propels your future into action. Though you may not see the stairway, it doesn't mean that your way up has been completely hindered. It's time that you start giving back to yourself. Trust me, it isn't selfish. One thing that is highly advised to all people is  physical healthiness not just for themselves, but for others as well.  Changing your diet and exercise increases lifespan (if God permits) as well as grants you the ability interact with your kids as a parent as well as countless activities that are traditionally designated for certain age groups. 

   You deserve to be happy. You are a child of God. Mali Music stated "You've been called out of the darkness /Into the marvelous light/Do you know who you are? /Royalty...". Once you become aware of your heritage, the understanding becomes clear. You've been performing on stage for quite sometime now, entertaining others with your sadness and despair. It's time that you stop feeding into someone else's happiness and enjoyment at the cost of your own. You don't have to wait for the curtains to drop and the lights to fade. Simply take a bow and exit stage. Many won't agree with your decision, but you'll never regret it, especially if it's something your heart's been tugging on for as long as you can recall.
