Should i quit?
If you’re trying to accomplish anything of significance there’s going to be many opportunities to quit. Quitting starts in your mind or in your head. I know that every time I start off on an uphill climb, or i’m in the middle of some weight training, I usually hear a voice telling me yo stop , or go back or just quit!
I learned over the years of physical training and building a few businesses that anything worthwhile usually has got an uphill component. In other words we might as well admit that if it’s important it’s likely uphill.
This week we were all given a chance to quit the MKE course, and apparently some will. I even considered it myself as it is a lot of work and in areas that are not my evert day fare.
The problem with quitting is you’re not going to have the pleasure of enjoying the prize.Many writers have exhorted us to keep our eyes on the prize despite the pain of the journey.
When I was a teenager I used to run cross country races. I made the school team so I was always training or competing. Despite all that running, I always had to battle the voice that screams quit once I was in the pain of running up a difficult hill.
This voice is with us all and it’s definitely not the voice of God! It’s the voice of fear and discouragement, and should we succumb to it’s pleading we will end up discouraged.
I think that one of the things that will keep us in the race, is that we can help so many if we do not quit. Most people in life and in business usually quit, and what they’re doing is quitting on themselves. Most of these folks probably don’t have a mastermind group to gain strength and encouragement.
As adults our arena may include difficult relationships, both at work and at home. WE also have work and business challenges to overcome
IN other words we are given many opportunities to quit or to stand up and persist
