There is truth in the statement, “Never Give Up,” but only for some issues, some people, and for some of the time. It’s important to weigh what is to be gained by your persistence against what you’re losing by not being decisive, cutting your losses, and moving on.
The prime and most significant loss is time. Regardless of what the issue is - a job, business, relationship, or project - the amount of time you can consume by allowing the issue to drag on well past its “sell by date” can never be reclaimed.
Wise strategies cannot be created from a place of thinking about the issue as either good or bad, or if making a decision is a reflection of your skills, abilities, reputation, or self-worth. Nor can they be made from a place of thinking that you’ve invested too much time and energy in this issue to quit now.
How Do You REALLY Feel?
Life is a rich tapestry of mixed feelings. It’s the nature of all things to feel differently about most things day-to-day.
But if the feelings about specific issues seem to fall consistently towards negative feelings, it’s important to take a look at what’s going on and take stock of the situation.
Clarify the Issue
To make smart, objective decisions you need viable information to work from. Make a pros & cons list about the issue and write down:
● What you feel
● When you feel it
● What you can do about it.
What you are looking for here is a balanced awareness of the issue and clarity on what’s really going on.
Give things enough time. Some things take time, but time alone doesn’t always resolve the situation.
It’s crucial to get clear on what needs to be done and be decisive about any choices you make. Nothing is going to change until you make a decision and take action.
Sometimes quitting is the very best thing you can do.
Some people have no problem at all letting go of things. They see quitting as simply a change in direction.
Others have a hard time letting go of anything and see quitting as some kind of failure, even in the face of overwhelming evidence that it never would have worked out anyway.
