I just read something on Facebook which I found profoundly encouraging and fitting in today’s day and age.
“Winners are not those who never fail, but those who never quit.”
We quit too easily.
When things get tough at work, we quit, maybe not immediately, but we find another job because sometimes the grass is a bit greener.
When things get tough with love, we quit. Instead of telling our loved one that we will fight until the bitter end, we chose to ignore what our heart says.
We cover up our feelings and sweep it under the rug and when that proverbial rug is pulled out from under us, it leaves us shocked…
Why is that? Why are we so shocked about the outcome? Why are we so upset with how things turned out?
Is it because quitting is so final and it can’t be fixed?
I believe when people quit, the rest left behind should be seriously worried, but people tend to turn their worry into hate and have vengeful thoughts instead of figuring out why this person decided to quit.
Hating someone for quitting or being hateful yourself because you were forced to quit is not going to make the grass greener on the other side.
We should stop quitting for no reason and we should stop judging those who do and instead ask them why. Our society has become too accustomed with quitting and it has to stop.
Who is with me on this?
Next time you are on the verge of quitting, anything, perhaps it’s time to re-evaluate what’s important.
Just saying …
