Quitting is not the end of your life. It is not the end of your career. It is not the end of your growth.

It is the beginning of your success. You get rid of things that are not helping you.

Quitting is the only way to stop what is not working. If something is not working for you, let it go. Don’t waste your time!

Life is too short for that!

According to Julia Keller, ‘Quitting is about following your heart- even if you break someone else’s in the process.’

‘Don’t fall victim to fear- or to the sunk-cost fallacy ot failing to heed opportunity cost. Quitting isn’t the end. It can be the beginning of success.’

‘Why not let some things go- without letting everything go? Quitting doesn’t have to be an absolute.’

‘You can change course when you need to. It’s a way of fighting back against random chance- and reclaiming your power.’

‘Quitting scenes make you feel bold and feisty, ready to make changes in your life. … Your reaction may tell you a lot about your comfort level with change.’

‘If you decide to give up, don’t think of it as a surrender: think of it as aerobics for your brain.’

‘Quitting is about tomorrow. Quitting is about the capacity to change, again and again, as often as you’re compelled to do so.’

‘Quitting for something better- or maybe just something different- should be the norm, not the aberration.’

‘Quasi-quitting isn’t about slacking off and trying to slide by, hoping that no one in charge notices. It’s about doing more, not less.’

‘Quasi-quitting is active, not passive. It’s powered by nimbleness and acumen, not apathy.’

Progress is getting ahead. If you are not getting ahead in your life, you have got to do something about it. Don’t stay the same.

Don’t quit. It is not about quitting. It is about doing something about it. If you are serious about it, these quotes are for you.

‘When someone has wounded us, we must take the initiative to make things right.’- Donna Carter

The wrong things won’t get you ahead. If you want to get ahead, do the right things. The wrong things lead to failures. And the right things lead to success.

‘You can make a start without needing to think too far into the future, or thinking about the really huge life goals, but instead by working out what makes you happy now, on the smallest scale possible.’– Emma Gannon

Whatever it is that you want to start, now is the best time to start. If not now, when?

‘Success isn’t looking up to a few famous, powerful people and thinking they have the answers. We all have the answers within us.’– Emma Gannon

Success is not about what other people are doing. Success is about what you are doing. If you want to be successful, focus on what you are doing, not on what others are doing.

‘A way to get to the root of your values is to remember we aren’t chasing success, we are chasing a feeling.’– Emma Gannon

Whatever you want to do, if you don’t feel good about it, do not do it. Your feeling is your best messenger. If you want hear, listen. According to Emma, ‘Trust your instinct.’

‘The bosses of tomorrow are the interns of today.’– Tim Federle

Do not focus on problems. Instead, focus on what you are working on. Focus on what you are doing, but don’t forget about where you are going.

Finally, listen to yourself. According to Emma, ‘Our bodies are intelligent, listen closely.’ Will you listen?
