Sometimes You Have To Give Up!
Yes, We always hear "Never Give Up." And that's a great tactics for the things that are working out. But for the things that aren't? You should only pursue it for so long. You don't want to waste time. Or chances for other opportunities. Some people become so stubborn that they refuse to give up no matter what. This sometimes does more harm than good.
When Your investment Isn't paying off
When you invest a lot of time, money or resources. We are often more likely to stand by what ever it is. Part of it could be fear of embarrassment to admit that we made a mistake. While other times we just may not want to "let go" everything we originally put into it. The fear that at some point it "could" pay off. Holds us to our original investment. Sometimes we have to cut our losses and let go. OF Course don't be too impatient otherwise you might be letting go of something that is about to take off. But if it's not paying off year after year or week after week. Depending on what it is, It may be time to move on to the next opportunity.
Your Goals Just Aren't Possible At The Moment
No, I'm not saying you should give up on your hopes and dreams. But if you have this crazy goal for NASA. Yes, continue in that direction. But also be willing to settle for something a little different than you anticipated. Not Everyone an is in jobs, Or situations that we want to. We sometimes have to have something a little different then we want. Also time is a huge factor. Many things take time, And it won't happen right away. So sometimes we have to work harder for longer than we expect to get what we want. And we have to decide if it's worth the sacrifice.
It Stops Feeling Right
Sometimes we do things so long And get in the grove of our daily schedule that we don't stop to think whether things are still right for us. We grow every day And the things that were right for you as a teen. May not be right for you as an adult. At that point, it might be time to look at your other opinions.
Conclusion
Giving up isn't always a bad thing, And sometimes we have to grow and become a better person overall.
Don't be afraid of what people think of you If you decide things aren't working out for you. Do whats best in your life so you can make all your dreams come true.
There are 4 questions:
What will I gain if I continue?
What will I not gain if I continue?
What will I gain if I don't continue?
What will I not gain if I don't continue?
And yes sometimes you have to give it up , suck it up and get on with your life. :)
Wow! Love those questions! That would be perfect to ask yourself if you are really struggling on making your decision.
Exactly. Most people focus only on win/lose. But there is more information. These questions were designed to shed a light on all possible situations.
It's all about the sense of proportion otherwise some decisions are too hard to take. At what time you give up also matters a lot.
Another great post @kaylinart.
Keep sharing, caring and inspiring.
Stay awesome. Steem On!
@kaylinart i really see the logic in your post and understand your perspective on this matter, my simple question is this; How do you ensure that you didn't just give up on something that your might have been so close to achieving??
@belgab I don't know what your spiritual beliefs are; but, born within every human being is something called "gut instinct" in the natural realm.
For Christians, it's called the Holy Spirit.
It's an Inner Peace that you feel when you ponder your answer. An absence of peace in a starting, or stopping in a matter is a trustworthy way of knowing.
If you take a pause from something, you'll get Truth by what you're drawn to. If you're drawn to letting the thing go...let it go.. If it keeps popping back up in your spirit like a floating cork; it's pretty clear you should keep moving forward with it.
I speak purely in terms of things of Light; not darkness.
Peace.
Sometimes you don't really know. You just have to take an educated guess. I struggle with this one myself at times.

You are looking so cute
You're so right . Sometimes we have to give up on things that are not meant to be . What's written for us will always happen . We tend to chase the wrong things knowing that it's not meant to be In our life but giving up is as hard as never giving up
So true hehe And It definitely can be just as hard to give up at times.
Its about being a realist I think as you say its knowing when to continue and when to give up :)
Exactly!! Some people just don't know when to stop.
You are soooo right. If it doesn´t work in the way you tried...at least you know it doesn´t work THAT way...but there are a lot of others you can try. Never give up!!
Exactly :)
Uhm! if you ask me, i'll gladly and boldly tell you this post isn't meant for every individual. Go through the above article over again to understand my point clearly.
Would you enjoy giving a loved one the honest explanation for why you gave up?
