You always hear ppl talk about staying here, staying around, sticking it out...and if you don't they say you "ran away"

But is there more power in leaving?

-leaving a nagging wife/girl instead of enduring her nonsense
-Leaving Jada Pinkett
-Leaving the hood and a bad environment so that you can grow
-Leaving a job if it isn't right for you
-Leaving a city

Even historical examples show men who left to become great--
According to the Bible, Jesus said that no prophet is accepted in his hometown[1][2][3][5][6]. This statement implies that prophets are not honored or respected by the people who are familiar with them, such as their relatives and neighbors. Jesus made this remark when he returned to his hometown and began teaching in the synagogue. Although many people were amazed by his wisdom and miracles, others took offense at him because they knew him as a carpenter's son and could not believe that he was a prophet[2]. This theme of a prophet being without honor in his own country is also mentioned in the Old Testament, specifically in the book of Jeremiah[5].

[3] Mark 6:4 Jesus told them, “A prophet has little honor in his hometown, among his relatives, on the streets he played in as a child.” Jesus wasn’t able to do much of anything there—he laid hands on a few sick p But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house. Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his hometown and among his own relatives and in his own household.” Jesus said to them, “A prophet is honored everywhere except in his hometown and with his own people and in his own home.” And Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honor, save in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house. Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his own town, among his relatives and in his own home.” But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his own country, among his own relatives, and in his own house.” Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor (respect) except in his hometown and among his relatives and in his own household.” Then Jesus told them, “A prophet is honored everywhere except in his own hometown and among his relatives and his own family.” Jesus said to them, “A prophet is treated with honor everywhere except in his own hometown, among his relatives, and in his own house.” And Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor, except in his hometown and among his relatives and in his own household.”

Leaving when you have your resources in tact along with not crying like a bítch on your way out is more powerful than staying.

Sometimes you gotta know when to walk away — even if you built the shít around you. The great Steve Jobs got kicked out of his own company and had to walk away. He started a new company and took over another (Pixar) and made it what it is today. Then his old bítch (Apple) came back begging. He returned, cleaned house and 12 years after he died folks are still on his nuts.
