You surely must have heard it all?There are several stigma attached to quitting. Many people believe that strong and successful people do not quit, they keep fighting till they get to the top.
Success is largely said to be embedded in overcoming hurdles and the more you have suffered to get through something, the more successful some people think you are?
The manner the ?concept of quitting? has been presented to us over the years has soiled the humility and nobleness that comes with quitting.
There is nothing wrong with quitting in life. What time you quit or what you have to quit determines whether your action is the best option or not.
Few years ago when I finished college, I had a well-paying job. It took me less than 30 minutes to get to work every morning. I had several great work colleagues and soon after I took up the job, I had a promotion. It was not a big promotion but it added some extra pounds to my salary.
From outside, it seemed I was living the life and my friends saw me as the lucky one since most of them were struggling to find jobs after college?
However, I hated this job. Nothing about the job made me happy?I had to struggle and drag myself out of bed each morning to get to the office. Though my body was in the office from Mondays to Fridays, I do not remember a single day that my spirit went to work with me. I never took my eyes off the clock in the office since I couldn?t wait to leave at 5pm.
For almost two years, I lived my life this way. Even though I considered quitting the job several times, I had unconsciously bought into the idea that, quitting was for losers and there was no way I was going to be a loser in life.
Quitting was not my only problem?I was scared about the future. Quit the job and go out there to do what? Join my job seeking friends who could hardly afford a take away?
