Burning Bridges

When changes are instituted, it is not uncommon for people to seek ways to go back the old way of working, particularly after the eagle eye of change agents have moved onto change projects anew.

'Burning bridges' is a deliberate way of preventing any backsliding by removing any method by which people can go back. This can be a bold move when you are not sure whether what you are doing will succeed. It does, however concentrate minds, ...

and people who may be not fully committed to the change are now strongly motivated to continue.

In warfare, burning a bridge behind you stops any thought of retreat and forces you to advance.

-- based on a quote in http://changingminds.org/


Ndi naman ako ang nag-burn ng bridges, thank God for that. Yet slowly I feel I'm motivated to do so.

I don't really know if it's the point of no return. Mas masaya syempre kung inspite of my decision, kung inspite of being true to myself, people can accept it. After all, walang taong perfect.

Siguro ang pinakamasama lang sa loob tanggapin is, you tried to accept people for who they are, pero pag ikaw na, parang ang hirap para sa kanila. This really, i think, is the best way to test any friendship. Minsan wala namang talagang tama o mali. Yun nga lang, me mga limit ang tao, and maturity comes in when kaya mong tanggapin ang nakikita mong incompatibility or imperfections (which may only be subjective) . The moment you can't, and when there's no more trust, then maybe it's really time to move on.

Siguro nga mas madali kung mag-pretend na lang na okay ang lahat, ngumiti pag nagkitakita. I was just banking on the other "maybe" part... baka pwedeng i-base sa totoong pagsasama.

hhmm... tama siguro yung isang kaibigan ko. ang totoo, ndi ako napagod sa kung anuman, but on working to make things good para maging strong ang bond. mahirap lang talaga sumagwan kung mag-isa ka lang at marami kayo... iba-iba ang goals... iba-iba ang priorities... at sa bandang huli, pag madali para sa karamihan sumuko. Mahirap dalhin ang relasyon mag-isa.

"Marami pang malalapitan, mababait at ndi naman pihikan." -- hehe jologs. pero dapat ba talaga ganun? relationships are not like dresses or shoes you just pick up and drop off the minute it doesn't work for you, right?

This one taught me this lesson. Maybe there's a bit of truth it. Time will tell.

"We don't have to pretend that we weren't hurt or that the other person wasn't wrong. We just have to decide to take our hurt to God and to try our best to forgive. " - 15Feb Word Amoung Us, Meditation

Later

How could you come with me
When you knew all along that you had to go
How could you watch me be (sleep talaga to, ndi bagay eh hehe)
So close to you
Pretendin' not to know

How could you memorise my name
And forget who i am
How could you think
You're still the same
Believing i can

It's too late to start pretending
It's too late for a new beginning
Later than the sunset
Later that the rain
Later than never to love you again

How could you ask for more
With an innocent smile
Trusting me to stay
How could you close the door
And leave me here
Supposing i'm ok

How could you break down my disguise
And uncover my fears
How could you look into my eyes
Ignoring my tears

It's too late to start pretending
It's too late for a new beginning
Later that the sunset
Later than the rain
Later than never to love you again

Its too late...
