It's OK to Quit!!!
Wow!!! Some of us definitely need to read, print and post this, especially in light of some of the recent happenings on our Board...Got this from a friend...sharing...
It Is Okay To Quit!
Yep, you read that correctly! Instead of making all these New Year's Resolutions, maybe we need to JUST QUIT! Veraunda I. Jackson is giving you permission to quit! Now this may seem strange that a motivational speaker who believes in empowering others is telling you that it is okay to quit, but this may be the most freeing thing you can do for yourself in the New Year! Let me explain...
I was on a plane reading an article that John Maxwell wrote about "quitting." I was in shock! In this article he talked about having some health challenges that caused him to re-evaluate what he was doing and why. He and his doctor decided he was going to need to make some adjustments if he wanted to stick around. The more I read the more that I realized no one ever gives us permission to quit! A few months ago I told you it was okay to say NO! But I have never endorsed quitting! Reality says there are a lot of things that we need to quit:
1) Quit arguing with people about the same old foolishness! Respect their position and keep it moving!
2) Quit telling people your secrets when you know they are not going to keep them! And if you keep telling them, then quit getting mad when they tell your secrets! (((Personal comment...A TO DA MEN ON THIS ONE!!)))
3) Quit trying to pull people on your journey who don't want to travel with you! Either they believe in you and value you ...or they don't!
4) Quit complaining about things you can't and won't change! I am not working on being a size 6 or a model...so instead of complaining about the weight, Forget the charts! I created my own "healthy weight!"
5) Quit gossiping about other people! Minding our own business should be a full time job!
6) Quit blaming each other for things that in the big picture aren't going to matter 3 weeks from now! Talk solutions...and then implement them!
7) Quit eating things you know are not good for you! If you can't quit...eat smaller portions!
8) Quit buying things when we know we can't afford them! If you don't have self control, then quit going to the stores and quit charging things, especially when you don't need them!
9) Quit staying in unhealthy relationships! It is not okay for people to verbally or physically abuse you! So quit lying to yourself! It is not okay to stay in the marriage for the children! Ask them and they will tell you that they really would prefer to see you happy and that the misery you and your spouse/partner are living with is affecting them!
10) Quit letting family members rope you into the drama! Start telling them you don't want to hear it! Quit spreading the drama! Quit calling other relatives and telling them about your cousin or aunt! Go back to #5 - minding your own business should be enough to keep you busy!
11) Quit trying to change people! IT DOESN"T WORK! I am still working on this because I really see a world of possibilities for others and try to convince them to see and want differently for themselves! Quit cussing people out when you know that they are just being the miserable and jealous people that they are!
12) Quit the job you hate! Start pursuing your passion (HINT: find the job that fuels your passion before you quit!)
13) Quit volunteering for things that you aren't getting any personal fulfillment from anymore! Quit volunteering for things and then failing to follow through with your commitment!
14) Quit listening to the naysayers! Qui****ching the depressing news if you are going to live in the doom and gloom of it all!
15) Quit making excuses about why you are where you are or why you can't do what you want to do! Nothing else need to be said, just quit.
16) Quit waiting on others to give you the answers...and start finding the answers for yourself! If what you are doing isn't working for you...then quit it!
Quit settling and start making your dreams a reality!
Quit being afraid and START LIVING YOUR LIFE!
CREATE THE LIFE YOU WANT! If you want something different than what you have had in the past...you must quit doing what you have done before and DO something different! JUST QUIT IT and START DOING something to create the experience you want!
(((So let it be written, so let it be done!!!)))
