Decide From Today

Here is a clean test. Picture you are arriving at this job, relationship, or city for the very first time, with no history behind you. Knowing what you know now, would you sign up again?

If the honest answer is no, you are not staying because the future looks good. You are staying because leaving feels like admitting the past was a waste.

So flip the frame. Treat every choice as if today is day one. Judge the road ahead on its own merits — not on the toll you already paid to get here.
