I’ve written before about how there’s always an exit in life. There’s a way out, if you will. But this concept is more important than just feeling trapped in your current career, relationship, or location. It’s about understanding mobility.

It’s understanding that sometimes, you have to make your own exit.

In this article I spoke about utilizing your exits. Breaking your lease, dropping out of school, quitting your job, or other ways in which you can find and use the exit that is available to you when life has gone awry and you feel trapped.

Sometimes though, this exit is less clear, and you have to forage your own.

The good news is — you’re not a tree, and you can move.

And the freedom of mobility is the most empowering thing of all.
