Sometimes the best thing you can do is quit.

Yes you read correctly, sometimes quitting can be and is the best thing to do. During change there are many decisions to be made, many paths that can be chosen and sometimes the best path to take is to quit.

Maybe you need to quit in order to enable change, quit to clear the path to change, quit in order to make the change easier or quit the change itself.

When you find yourself at a crossroads, faced with hard and tough decisions weigh up all the benefits and challenges and don’t be afraid to cut your losses and quit.

All the popular sayings and mantras tell us not to quit, to keep going, to persevere, to never give up. It is not wise, helpful or healthy to keep going if it is not the right path for you, if it doesn’t feel right, if it is making you unhappy, if it is not working.

If you find yourself in a situation like this, take a deep breath, put a smile on your face and quit.

“When quitting is done correctly, it isn’t giving up – it’s making room for something better.”
