Believing that you\\u2019re supposed to find a great job and stay with that company forever, or you meet a partner and stay together forever, or you plant roots and stay in the same city forever. When you\\u2019re not attached to permanency, you\\u2019re allowed to dabble, to experiment, to try new things and see if they are right for you. And it\\u2019s only through that experimentation that you find what works best.\\n When you\\u2019re worried that you\\u2019re holding yourself back from making decisions because you feel attached to the permanency of your current situation, even if it\\u2019s making you unhappy, it\\u2019s time to start asking yourself some questions. First, \\u201cWhat\\u2019s the worst that could happen if I make a new decision?\\u201d Oftentimes, that worst case scenario is the exact same situation you\\u2019re in now, so don\\u2019t be afraid of making a new decision when the outcome might be the same as no decision at all \\u2013 it could be so much better.\\n Many times we\\u2019re afraid of losing the good things about where we\\u2019re at now if we make a different decision. Maybe you\\u2019re afraid of losing your friends or your favorite restaurant. But what if you got really intentional, took inventory of what you loved, and made a focused effort to do those things (or similar) in a different situation? It\\u2019s possible to preserve the good while making even more room for new greatness.\\n So stop focusing so much on permanency. Life isn\\u2019t meant to be that way. If something isn\\u2019t serving you in the way that it could, try something new. Be intentional, focus on maintaining what you already have, and keep changing things to get even better.'
