GIVING UP VS WALKING AWAY
There is power in walking away
We’re constantly being bombarded with opportunities, stories of success, tips on how to be more, get more and how to constantly progress. I personally have been so obsessed with a platform I created called “WERULE“ that I sometimes forget that there are other things out there.
I’ve been thinking a lot recently about the pros and cons of walking away from something and a quote by Mr. Wonderful aka Kevin O’Leary really inspired me. He says that if something (a business) is not making money in 18 months you have to “take it behind the barn and shoot it”.
Sometimes you have to do just that. Sometimes it is time to walk away and not because you’re giving up, but because you’re going to discover something greater in yourself.
Giving up is knowing you can do something, but not doing it because you fear something. Walking away is trying hard, being wrong, learning the lesson and implementing it somewhere else.
There are so many reasons you might need to walk away from something. It might be more negative like walking away from a job or a relationship you hate, but it can also be more positive. It’s the knowing you deserve more, that you can create something event better. It’s also shedding relationships, experiences from the past and knowing who you have become throughout your journey.
Whatever the reason is, just know it’s for the better. No matter if it’s a big risk or small know that you’re good.
