by Vanessa Lowry with a story from Sherry Adler.
Sherry’s answer makes me think of how many times I’ve lived by the phrase “winners never quit and quitters never win”… staying when it would have been healthier for me mentally, physically and/or financially to quit. With more discernment and wisdom (hopefully), this quote from Martha Beck resonates with me, “Contrary to conventional wisdom, the ability to quit easily makes us healthier – and wealthier – than does leech-like tenacity.”
Here is what Sherry said, “I gave myself permission to Quit. To quit engaging, participating in the confrontational arguments initiated by someone else. I gave myself permission to not respond – to opt-out. I also gave myself permission to Quit believing that someone else’s opinion of me had more value than my own. I gave myself permission to Quit a marriage.”
Is there an area of your life that might run more smoothly if you gave yourself permission to quit?
