We generally resist change until the pain of making a switch becomes less than the pain of remaining in our current situation.
A classic rule of writing and editing: when writing, don` t hesitate to include something; when editing, don` t hesitate to throw it out.
All those good things you`ve done before are nice, but the future can be even better. Focus on that.
Most of us have lottery fantasies from time to time. I don’t think they’re necessarily harmful; I just think there’s a better alternative. The alternative is to write your own winning lottery ticket, not by the sudden accumulation of wealth but the gradual reduction to what you decide is essential for your life. That’s my proposal: creating your own life isn’t quite like winning the lottery. It’s better.
