Admitting Loss...and the energy it brings.:

Recently I have been reviewing some old investments that have gone bad, and over the years I have just persisted in the belief that to hold "long term" was the hard core integrity thing to do....but just last week, I felt that enough was enough..and sold...and presto...in the admission of the loss, or in the recognition of simply a bad financial idea, I was freed to begin again....and that albatross was lifted...and I felt an energy to "get back" ...ya like when was young, and one had broken up, and was trying to begin again...and thus I saw that in recognizing loss,,,,there can be an upside...nice...
