The button to restart is always there.
It’s there when you make a mistake. It’s there when something won’t work. It’s there when a relationship goes awry.
It may not be immediate like we’ve learned it to be from video game consoles and laptops; surely it takes emotional labor and a little planning, but it’s there.
When we’ve realized we’re going down the wrong path or we’re forced to pivot because of circumstances beyond our control, it’s our responsibility to press the restart button – and quickly to spare ourselves any more sunk costs.
