Burning The Bridges
Have you ever heard the expression burning the bridges? It’s often associated with taking a drastic step towards hard work and success. It was originally a military tactic and expression. It’s cutting off the way you came from in order to make retreat impossible. It means you’re going forward or you’re dead.
In modern times, you probably shouldn’t burn bridges with people and opportunities. You don’t need to be making enemies or cutting off communication with people. But the mentality still holds weight. When you choose to make a crucial decision, you want to commit to it. If you have to move to a new city to take a new job. If you have to quit a commitment to take on a new opportunity. If you have to change careers. End a relationship to start a new one. It’s the path you chose. Now it’s time to man up or woman up and commit to it.
Some people feel the need to feel pain. They want their new path to be their only option because then they won’t wimp out. And I’ve done it. Many times. I’ve oriented my life so that I’ll only take one option. I only mentally burned the bridges, I didn’t do it in a way that would effect anyone else. When I quit a job, I offered all my help in the transition, I had a long heartfelt conversation with my boss and she responded “You can always come back to work for me again if the opportunity arises”. You never know what the future might hold.
The battle is internal. So keep it that way. Don’t hold anyone else responsible for your actions. Don’t announce that you have to do things a certain way. Just do them. Because no one will care about the results but you.
Some people make a big deal out of their actions because they’re seeking approval. They want to see if other people would agree with their plans. Because you get nervous. You don’t know if your plans will succeed. You don’t know what your future will be. But that’s life. You’ll never know exactly what the future is until you get there.
