There's a huge stigma in our culture about quitting. Countless films, inspirational quotes, and stories promote the narrative that the only people who succeed in life are those with the dogged determination to stick with something at any cost. But what if striving for something no longer make sense?
The truth is not quitting can actually be a greater detriment to you in the long run depending on what it is. Toxic relationships, a job you hate, and goals that no longer resonate with you should not be prolonged. It's also important to take inventory of our approach to work and relationships to see if what we're doing is working. If it's not then what's the sense in continuing? Why not find a better way?
Another form of quitting is learning to delegate tasks that need to get done by asking or paying someone else to do them. That way you have more time to focus on what you do best. Learning to let go and admit to yourself that other people are equally skilled takes courage and humility.
Look for what you should quit in your life and fight like hell for what actually is important to you. You probably already know the difference. It's just about taking the next step.
