Where The Action Is

Often, the best change you can make to your environment is to leave.

Whether it’s your job, your house, your state, your country – there will be things about “where you are” that you want to change. If you can make positive changes, do so! But there will always be limits on how far you can move the needle, and being stubbornly attached to a particular environment is just status quo bias in action.

Swap schools. Get a different apartment. Find a new job. These are all very viable options, and will often bring about the changes you want more swiftly than trying to eke out progress where you are.

Don’t abandon freedom. Go where the action is.
