When I was job hunting, I'd always get attached to whatever job I was applying for — and I'd always remind myself to hope, "May the best thing happen." I try to do that with everything. I was trying to leave a job with a terrible culture, but for all I knew those shiny new jobs out there could have similar issues. In the end, I decided to become a consultant, and that's worked out well (except for making less money, lol). It's an ongoing process to learn to let go.

Have you read the book "Transitions" by William Bridges? He has some good insights on the value of being in a transition period like the one you're in. He writes about all kinds of transitions but is focused mainly on career ones.

Great piece, Adam. Learning to let go can be tough, especially at certain ages. I’ve been there and getting on the other side of the ‘letting go’ is empowering.
