Growth is learning to leave while things are still okay instead of waiting for them to go bad.

CREATIVITY

WHAT THIS MEANS

Most people need a disaster to justify a departure, because leaving something merely fine feels ungrateful. Waiting for the situation to turn bad enough means spending months in a place you already knew you should go, and leaving with damage instead of goodwill. Fine is allowed to be a reason. You do not owe anyone a crisis before you move.

Ask whether you would join this thing today if you were not already in it. If the answer is clearly no, start planning the exit while you are still on good terms. Leave properly, finish what you promised, and keep the people.

A QUESTION TO SIT WITH

Should you leave something now, before it turns genuinely bad?
