Quitting

The wisdom of knowing when to let go and move on

When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves.

In all things - except love - start with the exit strategy. Prepare for the ending. Almost anything is easier to get into than out of.

Letting go allows progress. Let things happen instead of trying to force things to happen.

In order to come back you have to go away. Use this opportunity to re-create yourself.

Quitting is not failure - it's choosing a different path to success.

The sunk cost fallacy keeps people in dead-end situations far longer than wisdom would allow.

Knowing what to quit is as important as knowing what to start.

Sometimes the most productive thing you can do is surrender to what is, rather than fighting what isn't working.

Quitting a bad relationship with your past self is the ultimate form of growth.

Strategic quitting is the secret of successful people. They quit the wrong stuff faster.

Every ending is just a new beginning in disguise.

Don't cling to a mistake just because you spent a lot of time making it.

Quitting while you're ahead is not the same as quitting.

The art of knowing when to quit is the counterpart to the courage to persist.

Sometimes you have to surrender to win.

Quitting doesn't mean you're weak - it means you're strong enough to let go of what's not serving you.

The hardest quit is quitting the person you used to be.

If you didn't quit anything you would still be playing with toddlers.

Surrendering to constant reinvention is the price of growth.

Accept loss. Surrender conceals great power: lulling the enemy into complacency, it gives you time to recoup, time to undermine, time for revenge.
