Change is hard because what you lose due to the change is visible but benefits are invisible, and possibly in the future.
Any new action is hard because pain is visible and in the present, but benefits are often invisible, and possibly in the future.
No wonder, we rarely talk about - and are possibly not aware of - the opportunity cost of inaction.
But we see and over analyze all types of risk when contemplating change or a new action.
Patience and the ability to place small bets on the future are under appreciated traits.
