Whether it is about changing one’s career or ending a long-term relationship or marriage, finding the courage and strength to end the path that has made you feel miserable or isolated and instead pursuing the thing that makes you passionate and happy again is one of the best decisions a person can make for themselves, and the path to discovering who a person really is, no matter how difficult or ridden with obstacles – it is almost always worth it.
