Holding on too tightly

Just wanted to post about something that’s been on my mind lately. We all want this thing to succeed and change our fortunes, and it’s easy to get caught up in it all when you’re really passionate about a project. But know that there is such a thing as holding on too tightly, and there’s a time to let go.5-6 years ago I was invested in a penny stock, NPWZ at first, it was later changed to XNRGI. They claimed to have a new high tech battery idea and I remember early on the message boards were filled with folks just so excited to have found this under the radar stock that was going to explode and make them a fortune. There were a handful of regular posters that would be on every day posting tidbits of info and getting people charged up. Well, over the next couple years things fell apart, and all the while these few die hards would continue to post that things would turn around.The other day I dropped by that message board and 2 of those guys are still there. 6 years later. Hoping.We see this happening around us in the crypto space as well, and I know it’s the nature of the beast, but I don’t like to see people going down with their ships. I’ve been learning to let go of much in my life in the last couple years, and I guess my point is that it’s easy to get trapped holding on to something you think will get better, but if you can find a way to let go, even if it’s disappointing, there can be a peace that comes with moving on.I have high hopes like most here, just don’t be afraid to walk away when your gut tells you it’s time. Best of luck to you all.
