Reading this story, you're subjected to the winner's bias. There's another guy out there somewhere who also threw away his career, wife and home, but never replaced it all, never found whatever he assumed was out there, and never wrote a blog patting himself on the back and spewing life advice.

The point is that life compounds, and it can be nearly impossible to salvage a bad situation.

For example, it's a lot harder to save a bad marriage than it is to try again, and avoid your previous mistakes. Does this mean that you should never try? No, but you shouldn't stay in a bad situation over fear of blowing it up either.

If you try something, that's a chance at making something new work. If you stay in the same situation, it's harder to apply your learnings.
