Musashi's rule number 5 for learning the art:
"Know the difference between loss and gain in worldly matters."
Things change. People often focus on what we miss when something changes, the effort required when we let go of something or the negative repercussions of a failed project. These things are usully seen as a loss. They are not.
Change is inevitable and every change is an opportunity. If a tool isn't working for you, drop it; use what you've learned to make the next one better. If a team member leaves, you'll quickly learn what knowlege was in their head instead of written down; capture the info and reap the gain in improved knowlege transfer in the future. Even a failed project isn't truly a loss unless you don't know why it failed and you didn't know about the failure as soon as possible. Learn to see the signs and take the lessons into the next project.
