Second thought on quitting


We hear all the times that ‘Winners never quit’. They run, fall, wake up and run again but never stop. They are ready to fail hundred times but are never willing to quit. And eventually, the person will achieve the dream. So, never stop, keep moving.

But does it really? Life doesn’t work that way. Sometimes life will hit you hard, so hard that you cannot wake up. Will all the risk that you take for the success that you dreamed of is worth all the pain? I don’t say, it is better to quit. But re-thinking is a crucial element. What is the worth, if you jump into the river again and again but you don’t know how to swim or if the flood is very big and it is constantly pushing you back in the riverbank? Re-trying might get drowned ! I have realized that it is important to understand the real value of work that you are doing and its importance to you. How long will it take and is the time worth spending? What is the benefit that you going to have, once you achieve your dream? What is the degree of happiness? How long? Who else is gonna benefit? Are they contributing enough? These are the basic things that a person should rethink.

And I have understood one thing for sure, it is not wrong to quit. Quitting never means stopping. It means re-starting the journey understanding all the actions and failures one received. It definitely means losing a battle, but learning for the WAR.

Learning what you love to learn makes way easier than learning thi

Do not stay at home.

If you still haven’t realized the power of nature, then do not stay at home. If you still flippant climate change, then do not stay at home. If you cannot contribute to your own level for a strong 'nature-human' relationship, then do not stay at home. And still, if you cannot provide but constantly look for what the world can offer you, then why should you stay at home? If you are staying at home this time, then make sure, next time when you go outside, you don’t have come back and hide again in these concrete walls. Protect, Reflect and Strengthen, the mother earth!
