The sunk cost fallacy is real. Staying where you are because you’ve already invested so much may prevent you from pursuing work, love, or environments that fit you better moving forward.
Postpone change too long and your defenses harden into identity. Letting go of your past involves grief, fear and some disorientation, but you may ultimately recognize you have to “rip off the bandaid” of what once was.
Whether you choose to change or stay put, take the time to challenge the stories in your head. Build faith in yourself, and make sure you don’t get left behind as the world moves on.
