S: I’ve been overworked and am burnt out on my job.

T: “Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you have now was once among the things you only hoped for” – Epicurus

O: I decided to stay at it and push to improve my relationship dynamic rather than sacrifice all of the progress I had made up to this point.

I: I had two options: stay and improve my current situation or leave and start over from scratch. Both options have their benefits and downfalls, however leaving a relationship negates all the time and effort that I had already put into it. While that may be worth it in some situations, it is good to remember that you came from what you have sacrificed to be here now.

C: I improved my ability to see past my current difficulties and make decisions based on a higher perspective.
