I’ve come across this quote so many times before… “It is true that you don’t know what you have until you lose it… but it is also true that you don’t know what you’re missing until it arrives…”
I was just thinking, when it comes to certain things in life, how do you know when to let something go and when to hold on to it? If you let it go too soon, then you risk losing something that you didn’t know was valuable. But if you hold on to it too long, then you risk regretting missing another opportunity that you could have otherwise taken had you been open to it. I don’t necessarily mean relationship-wise although the question I had just asked seems to come up more often when it comes to relationships. But isn’t it the same question you ask yourself when you’re trying to decide whether it is time to look for another job? Or when you’re considering moving to another place? Or whenever you are trying to decide whether you should take the next step?
How do you know when you should play safe and when you should take the risk?

Since we are keeping this more general rather than specific I feel I can make this statement. You can't analyze (ever) the situation based on how maybe it will become something valuable or let it go now because one day it may not be quite as valuable. One should try as best as possible to see what is felt now I guess. Not based on what may or may not come?
you're right. there really is no way of knowing what the outcome will be. it's really a matter of whether you want to take the leap.
sometimes you just need to jump and hope to God you fall on something soft.
A wise man once told me, when your day comes to hit the big sleep.
You regret the things you didn't do, not the things you didn't do well. So, don't regret the time you spend at something, just make sure you do the things you want to, eventually.
