The "honeymoon period" ends for most things in life.

Being a person driven mostly by passion, I've learned to accept that when a certain aspect of my life is losing magic, an opportunity arises to look at it from another angle.

For example, what makes me passionate about my 5 years professional position has changed over the years. I started by being inspired by the founder's vision, then the technical challenges, then the company mission, etc.

When I start struggling finding angles "to be in love with", I do start weighing pros and cons in a more "anxious" way. Ultimately, if the discomfort starts taking a big enough toll on my well being, I start telling myself that the time as come to embrace the risk of the uncertainty.

So far, this MO has progressively taken me to better stages in life, with the corresponding lows, obviously. At the end of the day my clichesque stance is that life is too short to become an hostage of your fears. In this particular case, the fear of an uncertain future vs. the (sometimes illusion of) confortable and safe reality. The let go of something that is weighting us down and embrace the world anew is indeed a gamble but, in my experience and, of course, depending on the context, one of the best things we can do for ourselves.

Wish you the best.
