7 Life Lessons From Moving
Moving is often cited as one of the most stressful events you’ll face (just behind death and divorce). It can be messy, is often driven by the actions of only one family member and is a very costly endeavor.
Having just completed the fifteenth (and longest) move of my adult life, I decided to take a markedly different approach. These are the lessons I learned along the way.
Lesson 1: Pick A Destination
This takes time, focus and a willingness to look at the realities of your situation through untainted glasses. Make lists. Do research. Talk with those who have already “arrived”. Be honest and allow the emotions to flow. After all, you’re about to change your life.
Lesson 2: Take Stock Of What You Have
Inventory everything. Dust off those items/issues/passions that you haven’t pulled out of the closet for years. You might be surprised to find things that you either thought you had lost or perhaps forgot you ever had. Take a hard look and decide what’s worth keeping.
