We are creatures of delaying decisions. We will suffer in a relationship, but the sunk cost will cause us to suffer. Things are not working well with business, but instead of calling it quit, we will continue spending time with the hope of things improving.
The same happens with giving feedback to employees, kids, or partners. We delay with feedback because we are worried, about how they will react.
We need to understand the importance of opportunity cost and living now. Killing every second, going in mental pain continuing the conversation and communication will only make us drained. The sooner we decide to call it a day, the better life becomes.
We cannot change anyone unless they want to change.
