Burning bridges is sometimes inevitable. People think that they should never do this since you never know when you might need to go back from where you came.

However, this is not always true. Do not hesitate to say bye to your past in some certain situations. Whether you are planning on moving to live in a foreign country, leaving your workplace or your personal relationships with someone you used to love are over, be brave enough to turn a new leaf and start anew.

1. Your former employer might not want to help you climb a new career ladder

Do not ask for help. Do not expect your former boss to help you in the future. Do it all on your own. You are strong and smart enough to understand that your ex-boss might not be interested in you any longer no matter how good your relationship with him or her used to be. Not only former employers, but sometimes even friends stop caring about us. Why should then your boss be willing to waste his time trying to help you build a new career? Let them give you promises, but remember that all those promises might be absolutely empty.

2. Your former buddies become your worst enemies

We make friends. We sometimes then lose them for a variety of reasons. It’s is rather a disappointing and unpleasant experience. But you have to realize that sometimes instead of maintaining a friendship it is better to let the person go. Move forward if you know that you have to do this. You should also understand that once you lose a friend you will probably never regain his or her trust again. After all, after fixing your failed relationship, your contact will not be as good as it used to be.

3. Your ex won’t let you move forward

Friendship with your ex is not really necessary. If your relationship is over, let yourself focus on your future. Try and meet new people, make new friendships and create a new romantic relationship. None of us wants to feel lonely. But do not demonstrate how desperate you are to stay with your ex. There’re plenty of single people and they are happy. Stay on your own for a while, find out more about yourself. Allow yourself to be independent.

4. You plan to move to another place 

Who told you that you cannot escape the past? It is sometimes possible. One of the ways is to start a new life in a new place. Have a plan and move to another city or even country. Burn the bridges that won’t make you happy and embrace a better future. In a new place you will always meet new people, find a new job and learn to do new things. Changes are always good because they refresh you. Leave behind habits, people and relationships that were bad for you. Get rid of the baggage that won’t let you move forward and do not look back ever again!
