Tempted

I remember when I first started hanging out with my friend Paul about 5 years ago.  I remember something he said.  That we would always be tempted in life and that would never disappear.  I think about this as I received a phone call yesterday from a colleague.  He wanted to open a new practice and wanted me to be a partner.  My head swam and I wondered was this a winning lotto ticket for me in this problematic time.  Well I ran it past many friends yesterday mostly to hear what I was saying and I thank them for hearing my ramblings.  However it didn't come full circle until I was talking with a friend last night and she was asking about the abuse in my life.  Then it all clicked into place.  Here it was. I was being offered an invitation into a bad abusive relationship again.  This time a business one. I was being asked to put a lot into this venture without any long term benefits for me that I already don't have in my own business.  Just a lot more added headaches which I don't need and I have spent many years trying to get rid of the ones I already have.  As I have found in the past.  Until I have learned my lesson the lesson just keeps coming up.  So hopefully I have passed with flying colors this time than the many poor choices in the past.

Has nothing to do with the topic, but he was sooo cute I couldn;t resist.
