When do you know when it’s time to quit?
.
We as martial artists are constantly told “never give up”. Is this realistic? When is it, the right time to give up?
.
Everything comes down to the importance of the goal we want to reach. We will encounter problems, doubts in anything serious we want to achieve. And alongside with this there will be new desires, new temptations, pulling us towards another direction.
.
When you have a dream or desire you want to fulfill, sometimes it’s a good idea to change the direction of that dream or desire. It’s okay to listen to people sometimes and to give in.
.
It maybe time to give up when your quest to solve a problem takes over all other aspects of your life, or you aren’t able to visualize a positive outcome. Perhaps you start to feel poorly about yourself, or you’re the only person who shows interest in solving the problem, or reaching the goal, but the outcome also depends on other people. When you wake up in the morning, and your first thought is to give up.
.
But don’t give up, not without a “fight”. Perhaps look at alternative solutions, remedy’s or advice form others. But remember, it’s important to recognize that when a task is killing your motivation, making you unhappy or overly worried, when you know you have tried your best and it hasn’t worked out in any form, it may be time to move on and work on something else. ??
