TO LEAVE OR NOT TO LEAVE...

I have joined for more than 3 clans already so I guess you might be correct in saying I have had considerable experience about leaving and moving on. I will not stop you nor tell you to leave, though of course it will be better if you stay. In any decision, leaving or staying I believe, should only be done for the right reasons.

For one, you shouldn't leave because you don't like several people in the clan, nor should you stay because of the friends you have made here. At the end of the day, it is your life. Your friends or "enemies" should not make or break you. If you let them be the deciding factor, then maybe you should think twice. You are the craftsman of your fate and the captain of your ship, Captain Hook shouldn't be one of your worries!

Do not leave nor stay because of the "Brand" of your clan. If that was the case, I would have rushed off and join another clan. Ask yourself whether you want to be a big fish in a small pond or a small fish in a bigger pond. Know your priorities. Only you can answer that.

Do not leave the clan because you're so damn frustrated about the way things are being run, or stay because you have this "messianic complex" that you can change things overnight. Be realistic about the things. Learn to accept that there is no perfect group. Be accepting that change is a slow and painful process at times and be thankful that you realize and act
on things that can be changed and improved. Definitely do not leave or stay just because others want you to. I know I am advocating obedience to others but again, we are talking about YOUR other life. But learn to value their wisdom and discern well.

Boredom is another challenge all of us are faced with during lull periods. Do not leave because you have become so bored with your clanmates. Do not stay either because you want things as they are. Change is inevitable in any clan. Talk to your mates. Ask for more responsibilities or other tasks if you're bored - take the initiative. Boredom or complacency is perennial battle most of us have to deal with. Arm yourself with creativity everyday!

Tonight I suggest you rest well. Sit still and listen to what He is saying. PRAY. I have always made my decisions through His guidance. He was and still is my Adviser. Your clan, our clan, is a vocation. He knows us more than we know ourselves so trust Him for whatever plans He has for you. You can never go wrong.

And remember: Use your head to get to the top. But use your heart to stay.
