To Change or Not To Change?

When do you know when enough is enough and it is time for a change? Do you just force the change because your too tired to go on, or do you try to keep going until an opportunity comes along to make the change a lot easier?

I keep plugging along hoping and praying that things will get better, but the only thing that is becoming clearer is the fact that I am having more bad days than good. I know that I have a choice to make.

I have a choice to either continue the way I am going, or I can make the decision to go into uncharted territories and try something new without a clear plan. The first way is comfortable and I at least know what is going to happen and it helps the family, because they all benefit from what is already tried and true.

The second choice will give me personal satisfaction and the possibility of finding something that is new and more meaningful, or I can fall flat on my face and those who depend on me can be hurt.

If I were alone and had no one to answer to but myself, I would most definitely take the chance to make a change to help myself, but with others to consider I feel as if I am stuck.

I guess the bottom line is that I'm not willing to take the chance to take a blind leap into the unknown because it could hurt those who depend on me if there is no clear plan. I need to put my faith in God to help me and to guide me into making the change when there are better opportunities at hand.
