Quitting is a Habit

One of the big keys in having success is to never quit. It’s important to understand that no matter what journey of success you are on, you will have many difficulties.

Failure will be part of your journey. There will be several times when you feel like throwing in the towel.

Always remember this: if you quit once, it becomes a habit. No matter what, never quit. Quitting definitely can become a habit. Justifying quitting is a skill. What we work on now and practice allows us to become better. If you keep quitting now, you’re actually developing skills that will make you quit in the future.For all the parents out there, let me encourage you to teach your children the importance of follow-through and never giving up. If we allow our children to quit something because they’re bored or it’s harder than what they thought it would be, you are actually teaching them the habit of quitting. I guarantee you, they will take this habit into adulthood.
Perhaps, you have found yourself trapped in this habit. It’s not too late. If you woke up this morning, you can definitely change. You have to find internal motivation to keep going when you feel like giving up.

The first step is to identify your WHY.

Whenever you feel like quitting, you have to remind yourself why you started in the first place. Be clear on exactly what you want to do and then make the commitment. It’s going to take time and effort to achieve your goals.If things don’t seem to be going your way, sometimes you have to find a different way to do things. Do not lose the goal. You may simply have to change the plan.
The road to success is always under construction. Things will never be perfect. Never allow this to hold you back. It is much better to begin to do something and fail than wait for things to be perfect before you start. The important thing is to start right now and start right where you are. Do not wait for the perfect time and do not wait until you feel you are 100% ready. Today is the day to begin.
Remind yourself throughout your success journey that the failures and the challenges will come. This way when they do, it is not a surprise. Use these challenges to help you to become better. This is all part of the learning process.

Never listen to the naysayers. You will have people standing on the sideline waiting to tell you “I told you so.” Do not give them that satisfaction. Unfortunately, there are others out there that want to see you fail. You must surround yourself with winners and mentors. You need people that are going to encourage you and support you. Find the people that are in life where you want to be and learn from them. Winners hang around with winners. Choose to be a winner.

You have a dream and it was put there for a reason. Your opportunity is staring at you right in your face. It’s time to make it happen and never look back. From this day forward, quitting is never an option. Go out and make it happen and never give up. Your future self will thank you!
