“In every day, there are 1,440 minutes. That means we have 1,440 daily opportunities to make positive impact.”

~ Les Brown ~

A lifetime of experience will offer many lessons and cultivate many skills. Some of them will be explicit, like how to do your laundry, invest your income, and raise your children. Some of them will be more subtle and abstract, but important nonetheless. Skills such as how to respond to illness, deal with rejection, and what to do when a relationship isn’t working. One of the most valuable skills that everybody would benefit from learning, should they want to live a fruitful life, is when to move on. Moving on, and thinking towards the future, can be a difficult task for a number of reasons.

1. First, we may be emotionally connected, or even addicted, to that from which we need to move on.

2. Second, it can be hard to strike a balance as to when to let things go, and when to keep pushing forward because we’ve already invested so much.

3. When we make the mistake of holding on for too long, behavioral economics call this the sunk costs fallacy.

Fortunately for us, the complications of moving on can be minimized by listening to wise people who have had to deal with moving on.
