You may be 3 feet from gold and not know it; and if you quit - you will never know!

I, of all people know that overwhelming feeling of wanting to let go of everything you're doing and just quit.

And you know what? It’s Okay! It’s ok to feel like that and it’s ok to take a break… It’s actually ok to quit; as long as you don’t give up.

You see quitting could be momentary, it could be that moment where you regroup, gather your thoughts and energy to gain insight on how you will rebound. Strategize and come back stronger.

Media has over popularized the idea of perseverance and never quitting but you need to stop and take a breather no matter what it is you are doing.

Think about it… in my previous blog “When Life Happens, Do This” I have spoken about and detailed the locus of control… you need to let go of things happening to you and focus on what is in your hands to influence.

You might feel that your not gaining traction, that your goals are so far and too big and that’s because you have your eyes on the prize and there is nothing wrong with that -but, what happens in this case is that you lose sight of changes and little victories that you should be more tuned in to.

In order to reach your goal, you need to take small steps and those steps accumulate day after day; so quit now and take a look at where you are, how far you have come to evaluate and strategize but don’t give up. Because if you give up now, you will end up where you started; and when you started, you dreamed of getting to where you are now.

That answers the question What Will Happen If you Quit; or rather give up. You will find your self dwindling back to square one… just like in the game of snakes and ladders and it will be such a pity not to notice how much effort you put in.

That’s why I encourage you to quit… often, momentarily so that you can gain a birds eye view of your over all progress; then,

Tap yourself on the back.

Celebrate your progress.

Learn to love the process.
