“never quit” sounds great, but sometimes, you gotta quit. be willing to say, “this isn’t what i thought it was,” or “this doesn’t appeal to me anymore.” remember that you can quit “the thing” without quitting on yourself. remember that persistence and fluidity can coexist.
i love those moments when i realize that i’m handling a situation better than an older version of myself would have been able to. i love conversations with myself when i realize that the self-work has been working. i love realizing that i’ve grown.
at some point you gotta be real with yourself about the gap between the life you want to live and the life that your daily habits are leading you towards.
