Bridges are like opportunities, and are meant to connect two places, so that you can take advantage of this opportunity of crossing over to the next place. However, as we grow older and wiser, there are times when you may not want to go back, and decide to burn down a bridge forever. Burning bridges is an idiomatic expression that used particularly in a job situation. When you leave a job or position under negative circumstances, you may worsen the situation by passing bad remarks about your employer or company. By doing so, you burn the bridge down and take away all your chances of ever returning, which is why many people suggest NOT to burn this kind of bridge down. But in the end, whether to burn or not is completely your call. This applies to all kinds of relationships. No matter how much ever we may want things to stay the same, they are going to change. Sometimes, this change is for the better, and sometimes not. Regardless of why things and situations change, we should learn to let go and move on in order to lead a better and successful life, be it a painful breakup, failure in a job, rift with family, etc. So, if you are looking for answers on whether to stay put or move on, here are some quotes that might just help you out. Always remember, if one door closes for you, there's always a new window of opportunity that opens up. All you need is a little patience and perseverance. If you hold on to the past, you'll never have the courage to walk towards a new direction. If you want to live your life to the fullest and grab every opportunity that comes your way, you'll need to burn some bridges on the way, if only you're pretty sure that you won't be going back there ever again. So, take your eyes off the rear view mirror, and focus on the road in front!
