“Coming in Hot so get your Ducks in Order”

You may be feeling a “hot” push leave a very unsatisfying situation but you need to examine your priorities before making your escape. This rapidly shifting & changing environment can create frustration & impatience, but make sure you’re not hopping into worse circumstances. Perhaps you’re not feeling emotionally strong enough to make the necessary adaptations to this rapid change so you are settling for less than you’d like or deserve. Or you just feel stuck & unmotivated to look for something better so you’re forced to accept a less than optimum situation. Stop a minute to re-evaluate because some things need to be handled before you follow any negative impulses & just bail. Accountability! It requires an honest if not brutal evaluation of an unfair situation juxtaposed to your priorities. You may be tempted to take something that is not aligned with integrity in an attempt to escape a hardship. Seek guidance if you are feeling confused. Sometimes we need someone else to point us in the right direction (with practical guidance) when we are failing to do so on our own. Also, if you are waiting for another to take culpability in an unhappy situation, you might be waiting a long time. We can only be responsible for how we contributed to the condition. That said, we don’t need to stick around suffering abuse either. It may not be apparently clear as to what the benefit was as a result of sticking around, but the reward is there. Once you find it, let it be your focus as it will lead you to a better start. It will require a practical but workable plan with a focus on your talents, values & goals. Take advantage of an opportunity for advancement only if it honestly works for you & not out of desperation. It has to be “value-adding” to your life. This is all about upgrading your standards so wherever you are headed next needs to be in alignment with those in order for it to be rewarding.
