Die to Live

There's a principle that something has to die in order for something else to live.
I'm sure the principle isn't perfectly demonstrated in every single instance of life... but maybe it is. I'm sure someone a lot smarter than me has thought that through.

But there is a lot of truth in the principle, and especially when it comes to getting better personally or even in groups or teams.

In order to go somewhere new, or learn something new, or be better in one area, we very often have to let something go (or die).

Wanting to get in shape, we have to let that free time, or bad diet die.
Wanting to learn a new skill, there also will be free time that you will have to let go of.
This contrast can go on and on, for almost everything.

You're not truly willing to go somewhere new until you're willing to let go of where you are.

Let some things die, so you can live.
