What To Do When You Want To Quit (But Don’t Want To Feel Like A Loser).

March 23, 2011 by Jacqueline Gates Filed Under: Goddess Mindset, Musings

Pink postit note with "I Quit"Sometimes, it’s really hard to know what to do when you Want To Quit … again … but the very thought of doing it makes you shudder.

After all, don’t all the Great Achievers of the world preach persistence and tenacity?

“Never, never, never, never give up.”
– Winston Churchill

 

That thrill of joy you get whenever you think of not having to do whatever it is that’s driving you to the edge, is tempered by the fear of the unknown.

Fear that you’ll look like a loser.

That you’ll end up worse off.

That you’re 3 feet from gold.

That you’ll regret it.

And yet you still want to QUIT!

 

Now I’m not advocating becoming the kind of dilettante  that flits from one thing to another and gives up at the first sign of hardship.

Far from it.

But in January 2010, I hit the proverbial bottom.

Nothing was working. I was stuck earning $7 an hour at Starbucks because my MLM was costing me more than I made.

I wanted to quit. Desperately.

So I did.

With Great Success.

Smoking? Your job? Feeling stifled and bored with life?

Have you ever wanted to quit something, but not been able to?

Perhaps it’s time to sit on your windowsill.
