Are You Ready to Cut Your Losses and Set Yourself Free

Have You Ever Been Taken Advantage Of?

Are you ready to cut your losses? That is the simplest and hardest question to ask yourself. Have you been taken advantage of? Have you felt used? Have you felt let down because you put in more effort than the other person ever did? A friendship. A relationship. A work situation. And somehow, you are always the one carrying the weight. Did you deal with sarcasm, narcissism, lies or behaviour you never agreed with? Things that went against your values but you tolerated anyway. Are you finally ready to move on and take the next step to set yourself free? Free as in cutting your losses.

What Cutting Your Losses Really Means

Cutting your losses does not mean you failed. It means you paid attention. Anyone or anything that causes constant hardship and instability, and that you can live without, needs to go. That toxic friend. That draining job. Even family dynamics that quietly destroy your peace. If it causes you to second-guess yourself when you already know it violates your core values, cut it loose.

Peace matters more than appearances.

Your sanity matters more than history.

If It Keeps You Awake at Night, It Is Costing You

If you lie in bed replaying conversations over and over it is not worth it. If your mind spins like a hamster wheel thinking about what to say, how to say it, when to say it or how to defend yourself, it is not worth it.

If a partner, coworker or friend causes so much stress that your thoughts revolve around them even in silence, that is your answer. Stress that follows you into the night is a bill you are paying with your health.

If you have invested time, money, emotion or years into something that is no longer working it does not mean you have to stay. That is sunk cost talking. That is fear pretending to be logic.

It is better to cut your losses early than let your life flip upside down over something you can fix by walking away. Staying out of pride will cost you more than leaving with honesty.

Most of the Time, It Is Ego

Let’s be real. Most of the time, it is your ego holding you hostage. You worry about how it looks. You worry about what people will say. You worry about explaining why it ended. You replay the embarrassment. The betrayal. The story. The what ifs. The shame you imagine others will place on you. But here is the truth. When you say I cut this loose because I could not handle it anymore, you are not weak. You are strong. You are honest. You chose yourself.

People respect clarity. Even if they do not say it.

Letting Go Is Not Losing

Walking away does not mean you lost. It means you stopped losing. You are not required to stay in pain to prove loyalty. You are not required to tolerate disrespect to prove strength. You are not required to suffer quietly to keep others comfortable. If you are stuck between a rock and a hard place and the decision feels dark, heavy and uncomfortable, do it anyway. Set it loose. Set them loose. Set yourself free.

Freedom Comes After the Cut

The relief does not come immediately. That is important to understand. First comes silence. Then guilt. Then doubt. Then clarity. And then one day you wake up and realize the weight is gone. The noise stopped. The tension faded. That is when you understand you made the right call. Cutting your losses is not about destruction.It is about survival. It is about self-respect.

It is about choosing peace over pride.

If something or someone has caused you consistent grief and you already know the answer stop negotiating with yourself. Do what needs to be done.

Cut it loose.

And move forward lighter than before.

If You Had Six Months to Live Where Would Your Priorities Be?

Where would your priorities be if you had six months to live?

I came across this question recently, and it stuck with me. If you had six months to live, what would you do with your life? Where would your priorities be if you found out today? It sounds simple, but it cuts straight through the noise.

What immediate changes would you make if you knew you had six months left? Would it be the new sports car? A designer bag. Botox or cosmetic surgery. A new apartment or house. New clothes. A new version of yourself built around status or appearance.

Pause for a moment and think about it honestly. If you knew today, would those things matter? Your diet probably would not. Your job would not. The person who cut you off in traffic would not. The coffee order at Starbucks would not. Oat milk, almond milk, extra sugar, no sugar, none of it would matter.

All the small things that nag at you every day would disappear. Who bought what? Who said what. Who earns more? Who looks better? That noise would vanish fast.

Your focus would go straight to your family. Your partner. Your spouse. Your children. Everything else would fade into the background. You would not care about your neighbour’s new Mercedes or the Hermes bag someone bought with a bonus.

I am sure Steve Jobs would have traded every dollar he had for more time. In the end, you cannot take any of it with you. If it came down to your last six months of health, your attention would lock onto survival and connection. You would depend on friends and family more than you ever have. You would spend time with them. You would tick off what matters. You would live the way you were meant to live.

Now let’s pretend.

Imagine you were told you had six months to live. You make the changes. You live differently. Then, in the fifth month, you are told you are not going to die.

What changes would you keep?

What would you implement in your life today if this were a second chance? Be honest. Would it be family? Career. Health. Fitness. Mental health. Peace of mind. More time with your spouse or partner. More time with your kids.

There is no age attached to this question. You could be in your twenties or your forties. You could be seventy or ninety. The question stays the same.

Make a list. Write it down.

What would you change if you had six months to live? If you are obese, would you lose the weight? If your mental health is suffering because of a person or situation, how would you handle it? If you smoke, drink, overspend, chase validation or numb yourself with habits you already know are hurting you, what would you do differently? Or would you change nothing because you are already content with where you are?

Most people would change something. Most would redirect their energy. They would talk to people instead of staring at their phones. They would pass on knowledge. They would write down their life so they are not lost. They would finally handle the will they have avoided for years. They would take the trip they had always delayed. They might give up daily habits that drain money and time to save for something meaningful.

There is a lot to be thankful for. There is also a lot you already know you want to change.

You do not need a diagnosis to start. You do not need a phone call or an email telling you tomorrow is the end. Ask yourself the question now and act on the answer today.

Happy Friday to all!

Seven years ago today, my wife and I left Germany to start our new life in Japan. As you can see, the environment in the southwest-German countryside was very much the opposite of Tokyo - I sometimes miss waking up to the sound of birds singing (but don’t miss much else about Germany).
