sometimes in life you have to know when to WALK AWAY.?

Question

do you believe in this statement? please explain..

Answer 1

yeah, and you gotta know when to hold em ♪

Answer 2

Certainly.

My entire life (47 years) has been a continuous exercise of trying to walk that razor thin line between giving up too early and hanging on for too long. It becomes less of a problem with time but that doesn't mean that you can't make the same mistakes again.

There's really no perfect way to do it unless you are locked in a room for your entire life. Like someone said to me one time; "As long as you are walking on the face of this Earth, you are going to go through some s---."

Answer 3

Yeah, but you also have to know when to come back. For example my husband hates to debate (argue) with me. He doesn't always have all his facts and logic in line so he just gets angry and defensive. Early in our marriage he would just walk away, I would feel bad and give up, and we never got anything solved. One day when he walked away, I said "You may think you can end this by ignoring me, but it's not over. I want you back here in one hour after you've thought about it and we will talk this thing to death!" He came back in an hour with some good logical reasoning to solve the problem. We've been using the walk away, come back later system for the last 30 years and it's working quite well, thank you.

Answer 4

Yes...I fully believe in it. I just walked out of my marriage of 3 years a couple of days after having our first child (LONG story). While I fully despise divorce and believe marriage should be forever....I refuse to be controlled, belittled and mistreated and absolutely will not have my newborn daughter go through the nights of horrible fights.

So, while it was the hardest thing I ever had to do in my life.....I knew it was time to WALK AWAY.

Answer 5

Sometimes this happens when you realize the battle that your trying to fight, is not your battle.

Other times, you realize this is your battle, but this is not the hill that you want to die on, sometimes walking away from a battle is the key to winning a war.

At times, you are just not dealt the cards that you need, as a gambler once told me, the only way you loose money is by not knowing when to stop betting. yes, you may be good at bluffing, but keep in mind the odds are against you.

At times you need to walk away, just to breath, just to have a moment of clarity.

Answer 6

How many times are you going to walk into a wall before you know it's time to walk around. If the same situation is constantly hitting you in the face maybe you should look for a different route.

Answer 7

i recently walked away from a friendship with a guy. we'd been friends on and off for about two years. but the friendship was unhealthy. he wanted me as more and we'd always end up having fights about that as well as other petty things. too much damage had been done over those years... so even though he wanted to keep trying at it, i decided it was best to walk away

Answer 8

A wise man once said.
You got to know when to hold em

Answer 9

Yes I do. But i always believe it is time to walk away once the truth has been revealed. Without proper acknowledgment of the truth, i will always have my thinking mind assessing, investigating, and concluding.

Answer 10

Absolutely. Suppose you are in a relationship with someone who abuses you mentally or physically. It would be insane to stay. The same is true if you find yourself with a cheater, an addict, etc. There are some situations you cannot fix.

Answer 11

when you start helping others and everything you do for them doesnt seem to be working. You need to just walk away and let them deal with the problem on their own.
