"Do the Hard Thing": A Framework for Decision Making in Ending Relationships
In relationships, the goal is to have a balanced investment where both parties benefit. However, trouble arises when you start questioning whether to continue certain relationships. The framework for decision-making suggests that when faced with a difficult choice, you should choose the hard thing because if the easy thing were the right choice, you would have already done it. Instead of viewing ending relationships as burning bridges, consider it as pruning a tree to promote growth. Just because you end a friendship doesn't mean you become enemies; you can still wish the other person success from a distance. Each relationship has its season, and when it ends, it's important to appreciate the memories and acknowledge that both parties played a role in each other's lives.
