When a guy gets into a bad relationship we tend to have a soft heart to those who have participated in our bad choices. For instance, guys don’t want to break off a bad relationship because they feel like they will hurt someone’s feelings. I say WHO CARES about others feelings when you are about to RUIN YOUR LIFE. There are a few times in life where you have to be selfish about what happens to you. This is one of those times when it involves the most important decision of your life. You have to put you first and foremost when it comes to a bad relationship.

I call it a skydive situation. You know in your heart what is right but it’s hard to activate that truth because it will severe relationships and cause hurt to others. Imagine yourself going skydiving. I have many times, but since I’m getting married I’ve reconsidered due to the physical liabilities, and also, she hasn’t taken a life insurance policy out on me yet. Anyhow, you have made the decision to finally go through with it and you are sitting in the airplane. The bay door opens and you are standing there on the edge looking down at the ground with 12,000 feet of air in between. You know you want to jump, but you’re scared. You have a two ways to get back on the ground, you can be a man and jump, or go back to your seat and feel like a lilly-livered sissy all the way back to the runway. Here’s what it takes to make the first jump (from what I’ve heard from others Shanna dear). You can’t look down, you can’t think about dying, you just have to put it all out of your mind, and JUMP!!! They say it’s the biggest rush and the freest you will ever feel.

My question to you is: Why are you still sitting in the airplane when you know you want to jump? Why are still cooped in that bad relationship? Is because you are afraid of what “might” happen when you jump? You are going to hurt feelings when you do it, but man, the benefits and freedom you will feel by making that choice will far out weigh the long-term consequences of doing nothing.

Hurting others feelings is usually considered a bad thing. But, hurting others feelings by standing for what’s right and true is not a wrong thing. It’s tough, but a man’s got to do what a man’s got to do. It’s your choice, are you going to be the guy who takes the plane-ride home and never experiences what God has for him, or are you going to put it out of your mind and just jump because it’s the right thing to do?

Just a thought, most parachute packs have an extra chute. Don’t worry, just jump.
