Am I supposed to just keep holding forever? When do people actually sell?

I’m in my early 30s and honestly feel like I’ve gotten more lucky than skilled. I don’t have a formal investing strategy. I’ve mostly bought companies I hear from investing friends and held them.
Now I’m trying to figure out:
\- When do you sell a winner?
\- Do you ever take gains for things like a vacation, home project, or car?
\- Do I need to rebalance?
\- What do you do with losers?
\- Are any of these positions no longer worth holding?

If it was you what would you leave alone, what would you trim, and why?
