When is it time to leave? This can apply to a party, a job, a relationship, a casino or a country. Most people don’t like leaving when all is going well. Some folks prefer to stay longer if they think they can fix it, improve it or it is going to change for the better.
The decision to leave is a complicated one and really depends on the circumstances in the moment. That said, you should definitely consider your options, at various times, though sometimes your grass is greener than you think.
You don’t have to agree with people all the time. However, it’s useful to pause, pay attention and really understand what someone is trying to get across to you. It can be a real challenge too, especially if you disagree with their perspective.
But everyone has their perspective for a reason. So try to understand why they have it. Oftentimes you’ll understand the person much better, which can help you accept why they think the way they do.
When you buy something, you are donating your money to a company, its employees and its owners. Although you get something in return, that presumably you must have, your money gets transferred to the stakeholders. Make sure you are happy with that donation.
Would you rather do your absolute best at something and come second or be off your game but still win?
Go after it. Search. Explore. Discover. Spend one week and search online, talk to people, watch clips and try things out. Be proactive. Then shortlist three of your favourite ideas. Explore them for three months. Then go for one all in. You can change later if it is no longer for you.
Don’t wait all your life to find it. Hunt it down.
Make sure you contribute in a positive way, whenever you can. Don’t be the person who sucks all the energy out of the room or conversation. Make sure you are adding to the conversation or event.
You can sell a story, give a reason, or five, and even create an elaborate excuse. It may distract some folks, and waste both of your time, but it doesn’t change the result you had. Results don’t lie.
In the moment, some things feel gigantic and overwhelming. Though, often five years later, they seem rather small or normal. Life goes on.
It’s just a dream, so why not? How huge could your dreams be? Could you do more to make them a reality? Are you willing to put the effort in to try? Dream bigger – it’s fun!
