I've spoken about quitting a few times before.
Quitting is an amazing tool in our arsenal that we should be more comfortable in using.
We're taught to never quit, but the truth is that learning when to quit is a superpower.
We can never quit our ultimate goal, our destiny. That is ingrained in us. It leads us. But, it doesn't mean that it won't be delayed for us if we get distracted by shiny things along the way.
The ideal situation is not to get distracted by the shiny things in the first place. But, we do. I do. Though, I'm happy to say that I don't so much lately. But, I've gotten distracted by mediocrity before because it sounded safe and I wasn't brave enough to say "No!" to. Or I had doubts about the journey I was on. And the shiny thing felt safe, even though I knew that it wasn't the right thing. My ask. The promise.
One thing I like preaching about is that quitting is an important tool that must be used on our way to reaching our destiny.
Quitting has served me well throughout my life. And I'm not talking about just quitting a job you hate. Big quits. Something you know you should be done with. Something your friends and family may think you're crazy to part ways with. But, you know in your heart of hearts that you're made for more, much more.
The hardest part is quitting things that have somehow become a part of our identity. And they don't have to be things that are necessarily dragging us down. They are usually things that keep us in place and stop us from moving on to the next chapter in our journey.
The trick is in realizing this. Once we do, everything becomes clearer.
Closing old doors makes room for new exciting doors to open.
