What is your relationship with "Quitting"? From childhood, I seem to recollect this as a negative word, something about quitting is not good. "quitting is for losers" or “Successful people keep moving. They make mistakes, but they don’t quit.” is something I heard often. Quotes like these are the staple of a lot of motivational literature out there. We hear this while growing up & we see this in lots of popular media. You have films where the hero persists against all odds & wins. And yet I have often wondered if quitting may actually be good for you. Is there an alternate worldview?
Very well written. I have been playing this concept over and over in my head for the last 2 decades. It makes so much more sense now. Thank you.
