Courage to leave

The party is in full swing but it’s nearing that leaving time you specified.

You just know that announcing your departure will spark cries of outrage from the party goers. You can feel it in your bones.

Do you have the courage to maintain your discipline?

To declare the unpopular decision and invite others to guilt and shame you?

The courage to pick long term over short term?

To pick yourself over avoiding displeasing others?

It’s funny how even tiny trivial situations can require courage.
