Sometimes we try to hold onto things that just aren’t working.
Things that might’ve fit in a past life. Things that worked for a past version of you.
We try to force it. We do mental gymnastics. We rationalize it. We tell ourselves it’ll get better.
But right now?
It’s just weighing you down. Holding you back.
Cut it.
Life’s too short to carry dead weight.
Alignment is everything.
If it doesn’t fit your life, your mission, your direction—
it doesn’t belong.
Over the past couple years, I’ve ended a lot of things.
Things I could’ve held onto. Things I could’ve tried to revive.
But I knew—deep down—it wasn’t right.
I was just dragging it out.
And that costs you.
Time. Energy. Focus.
As Builders, we want to make things work.
We want to fix it. We want to build something solid.
But you can’t build on a shaky foundation.
And you can’t force something into place that doesn’t belong there.
So don’t.
Cut it.
Builder Principle
If it doesn’t fit…cut it.
Something to Ponder
What are you holding onto that isn’t working? What are you forcing? What needs a clean cut?
