WINNERS ARE THE BEST QUITTERS!


“I know I’ll win because I don’t quit!”

     But here is where most people misunderstand the idea of quitting and misinterpret statements like, “A winner never quits!” 
     There is no reason to keep putting your energy into something that isn’t working.  Personally, I’ve learned that the only time I’m “quitting” is when I’m not pursuing and fulfilling the purpose of my life.  And while I know I will occasionally take the wrong path while trying to reach my goals,  I’ve also learned that continuing down the wrong path after I’ve figured out it’s the wrong path….. Well that’s just a waste of time and energy!  
     Don’t confuse changing directions to reach your goals as quitting on your goals all together.  Whether you’re looking for a new career that lines up with your passions, new relationships, new places to live, new schools, new ways to save money, or new ways to develop your dreams, you’ve got to quit what isn’t working on occasion so you can refocus your energy and time into a new approach.  Remember, the caterpillar had to quit being a caterpillar before it could become a butterfly.    
     Successful people know when to quit something that isn’t working and refocus their energy on a new path.  They understand that success is created by using the trial and error approach while not losing focus on discovering and fulfilling their overall purpose.    
Are you a quitter? 
Maybe you should be...         

“The first thing most people need to quit is to quit believing that the only path offered to them is the only path available.”
