Sometimes walking away has nothing to do with weakness, and everything to do with strength. We walk away not because we want others to realize our worth and value, but because we finally realize our own.

That is a very powerful comment and one that I have always embraced. When I was younger, it was hard to do because I always wanted to please. I am now in my 60’s and the only person I need to please now is ME. How liberating it is to just be ME.
I’ve spent years beating myself up for walking away from jobs where i worked hard to move up and make great money but didn’t feel happy, valued or fulfilled. I’ve spent most of my life trying to fit the mold others thought was my path. I’m faced with yet another tough decision in my career and I realize that walking away shows far greater strength than taking the easiest, most comfortable path… staying.
