Many times the wisdom to make the choice of quitting or
holding on, is what stands between us and success. We often get to the point
where we need to make this decision in order to advance. Many of us keep on
spending our energies on what we should let go off because of all that we have
invested. At what point should we let go? This is an issue because of the
slogan "winners do not quit" Do we continue flogging a dead horse
just because winners don't quit? What do we do at a crossroad? There are times
that we need to evaluate the situation honestly and have the courage to let go
when we see that the road is taking us nowhere. The problem is a lot of do not
want to be honest with others or even ourselves. Honesty can be hurtful most
times but it is the kind of hurt that signals maturity. If you are not mature
enough to deal with the truth in any situation, the pain of deception, failure
and regret would be nothing compared to the hurt of facing the situation head
on and making any uncomfortable decision. Letting go does not always mean
quitting, at times it means we are people of courage who are not afraid to
admit that we have failed at a certain project. Failure is not an end in itself,
it is just an opportunity to understand that there are other ways of arriving
at our destination. In fact, the joy of starting after a setback is that you
have the advantage of hindsight which was not available to you the first time. When
we understand the true nature of failure, we conquer the fear of failure and
embrace it as a learning curve which will help us know how to accomplish our
dream in a better way.
