Should I Leave or Should I Stay?

This is how most relations end: "first you find someone "new," then you end an existing relation. More ethically would be to do it the other way around, but that is without taking into account one important element...

"Should I leave or should I stay," is a question asked by millions. For example, in a relation when you wonder to continue, to improve or to change. Or at work, to invest in your current job, in relations with people or to search for something else.

And what it the recipe? What should you do?

Much depends on who you are, who you want to be and what you situation is.

Who you are: are you a jobhopper than you should worry too much. Especially when you are still young. An international company recently took a measure in which it demanded people to stay longer at the same position. Job rotation was part of the culture, but the downside was also noticeable; the culture scored low on responsibility.

How responsible are you?

But responsibility on itself is not a factor that should keep you bound to one job or relation.

What do you want in life, is a question you should ask yourself. Again the jobhopper. If you are young there is no reason to think too much about the future, but if your life is a patchwork of jobs, relations that make no sense than you should wonder. If you are happy with it.

Emotion is what's keeping people from taking the leap. You have a feeling that what you are doing is not really what you want, but you don't have a concrete idea of what the real alternative is. Then you have a problem.

You need to know that your current situation is not the right one. You need some idea of the (near) future and than the only thing that is missing is a first step.

Back to the relations...Why people leave easier after they have got something (a job) or someone (a relation) new - in mind - is the about the opportunity.

Quitting something without an alternative will make life more difficult than required. If you are in a relation and you suddenly find someone else it is because you were "open" for it. You had already decided to leave, but you were waiting for the right moment.

Should I leave or should I stay ... You probably already know the answer.
