It might seem safe to stay in the middle of the road, straddling the line between working on a relationship and leaving it alone. But staying in the middle is unhealthy because there is no progress in any direction. We’re avoiding pain instead of pursuing health. We sidestep making a decision because we’re afraid it will be the wrong one. However, it’s better to make a decision and take action, then steer the results as they arise. There’s nothing in the middle of the road but yellow stripes and dead armadillos.
