Escape Velocity

Escape velocity is when you’re going to leave them and they know.

For example, you’re set to marry the nice guy and Mr Poison gets wind of it and phones up; about to go on an important business trip and your husband suddenly needs you for no real reason; about to leave a bad job and you get a raise.

The whole trick is to evade the test. We all draw to us the one test that’s our total nemesis.

In order to achieve escape velocity, we must learn to keep our own counsel, to move silently among doubters, to voice our plans only among our allies and to name our allies accurately.

Set your goals and set your boundaries.
