How many of us continue along a path that is no longer right for us?

I wonder how many of us continue along a path that is no longer right for us because of the fear of missing out on some imagined future? Do we cling to a long since forgotten hope that things will improve and waste our actual better future by staying stuck where we are? 

 

I think that many of us are not actually scared of being on their own but are actually scared of losing this false future. After all, have you not invested much time in this current situation so far?  

 

Should you ‘throw away’ all of this investment? or would it be better to spend the time you have remaining in this life actually living a real life rather than pretending and clinging to false hopes? Just a thought.
