It's only over if you quit

It's only over if you quit

It’s so disappointing when things don’t work out.

When you fail to reach a goal.

When you miss an opportunity.

When you do or say something that compromises a relationship.

You might feel like there’s no going back.

Like the situation can’t be salvaged.

Like the damage is irreconcilable.

Like it’s over.

Rarely, though, is this the case.

Life often offers second chances.

Different opportunities.

New doors opened.

Yet, we can only see these when we persist.

When we choose not to give up.

When we keep chugging ahead.

But not if we give up.

Not when we throw in the towel.

That’s when we’re out of options.

When we quit.

That’s the only time it’s truly over.

You might have screwed up this situation.

You might have missed this opportunity.

You might have failed this attempt.

There will be others.

Perhaps not exactly the same, but there will be others.

Unless you quit.

It's only over if you quit.

Sometimes, that may be what you need to do.

Other times, it won’t.

That’s a decision only you can make.

You decide when the juice is no longer worth the squeeze.

And that’s okay.

But it’s your choice.

You can always keep showing up.

You can always keep doing the work.

You can always keep going.

You’ve got this.

What if we simply listened?

What if we simply listened?

Allowing others to open up to us can be a powerful tool for exchanging the gift of connection. So often, though, we're too focused on responding, controlling, or judging for any connection to form. We...

Life isn't always a problem to be solved

Those we see as least worthy of compassion are often those who need it most

Those we see as least worthy of compassion are often those who need it most

Holding compassion for those we see as malicious, selfish, or otherwise unworthy may not feel right. Such characteristics, however, are often rooted in deep suffering or fear. Those we see as least wo...
