If you’re at the end of your rope, there are some important questions you need to ask yourself:
- What is the other end of this rope tied to?
- Where is this rope supposed to be taking me?
- Is it tied to the right things, the right values?
- Am I sure I’m at the end of my rope or do I just feel that way?
- Is it possible there’s still more rope beneath me, but I’m too afraid to look down?
- Why do I feel I’m at the end of my rope?
- Am I losing my grip because I’ve been working so hard at climbing under my own power?
- Who told me I’m supposed to climb this rope anyway?
- Is it possible this rope-climbing activity is a waste of my precious time?
- Do I really feel safer holding onto this rope?
- Is there something better in life than rope-climbing?
- How many people die, still clutching their ropes?
- What would happen if I let go of the rope I’m clinging to?
- Who would catch me if I let go?
- Haven’t I heard an encouraging voice: “Let go. Come to me you who are tired of climbing. I will catch you and hold you and give you rest”?
- Do I trust that I will be caught and never let go?
- What will life be like if I’m not holding onto this rope?
- Do I trust my death grip on this rope more than the one who will catch me if I let go?
- Who will help me let go and encourage me in my catcher?
- What will it take to let go, to release this and throw my hands up in surrender?
