When quiting isn't an option

Tweet

I've had many times in my life when I reached a point where I wanted to quit, to give up, to change direction. Sometimes this is a good thing, (Quitting smoking, getting out of bad relationships), but mostly it isn't. A long time ago, I came to the conclusion that for success in life, that the only time someone really fails is when they quit. Yes, there may be setbacks, and yes there may be major obstacles to overcome. The funny thing is that I have found, is if I keep working towards the goal, it will happen. Maybe not as quickly as we had hoped. Maybe not in the same form as we had envisioned. But somehow, I'll find a way to make it happen. I'm thinking about this because I've got a few projects here at home that must get completed before June 2, (the date for my second total knee replacement) and we are having to travel to California for a week. So, I have very little time left. It would be so easy to put all these projects aside and simply not do them. Yet, I will not do that. My wife isn't capable of doing them, she has her own medical issues. Before that date I need to Repair a patio, put up shelves in the kitchen, and paint the kitchen and hallway.) It's a lot to do when I can only stand for short periods. I will get it done in time. Wish me luck, --- I'm not getting it done sitting here talking about it. Photo borrowed from www.bonsaisanctum.com
