Can we leave now?

Can we leave now? Well, that depends. Is the job complete? Are all the tasks done? Are the goals achieved? Have we learned all that we can learn? Have we grown as people? Have we done our best? These are the questions we must ask ourselves before we can answer the question of whether or not we can leave. For if we do not answer these questions, how can we know if we are truly ready to leave? How can we be sure that we have done all that we can do, or that we have reached our full potential? We cannot. We must strive to do our best, and then make a judgement. If we have done our best, then it is time to leave. We must be mindful of the fact that our journey is not over, but rather, it is just beginning. We must be prepared to face new challenges and opportunities as they arise. And so, the answer to the question of whether or not we can leave now is simple: it depends. It depends on how much we have accomplished, and how much we have yet to do. It depends on how we have grown, and how much further we can go.
