relationships do have what I like to call expiration dates. So having the

expectation of forever, be it a lifetime of a career path, a special someone to share life

with until death do us part or anything else we believe will have no end, puts us at risk at

judging ourselves as failing if something ends.

Some relationships, jobs, and situations

come with expiration dates.

And when we reach them, it's time to move on.

This can be particularly challenging

if we expected that something was going to last forever

or what longer than it actually did.
