Time to Go

I was recently asked how to know when it’s time to leave- in regards to relationships and including friendships. I responded, “when it becomes more exhausting than energizing.” 

I returned to my office and in my mind I saw a fuel gauge. 

Again I nodded. “Simple and so true,” I thought to myself. When the gauge is less than half full more often than not, and refilling the relationship tank has become more exhausting than energizing, it is definitely time to bail or at least back off. 

And on that note, I bailed.
