It seemed like such a good idea.
You decided to do it. To make it happen.
But then the work got hard. Inconvenient. Unfamiliar. Frustrating.
So you quit.
Because that’s what you do.
You start the thing. But you don’t finish the thing.
You fall in love with the outcome but can’t bear the process.
Or you get sidetracked by the next shiny idea that comes along. Well … until you quit that one too.
I know how this thing works. Because I’m an expert on quitting.
I used to quit everything — teams, jobs, relationships, you name it.
Then it all stopped. And all it took was an unexpected comment from Uncle Robert about my father. Game changer.

YEAH !!!!!!! I feel the same way. Thank you so much for sharing this what a boost to my moral :~D I loved this, no matter what a person is going through someone else is going through something harder! I thought my life was a book for record, and then I spoke to a woman who had a great way of looking at things, but guess what wow her life was even more tragic. I struggle to make each day but I do it with the help of All Mighty God and his son Jesus each and every day :~) Yes, Sean I still follow you :~D. Good Job
Good topic, Sean. Haven’t seemed to finish what I start, starting with losing jobs starting at age 22, downsizing every 3 years losing jobs then I went to school which has a 98% drop-out rate. The school closed (Drop-out rate) then the night program closed at another college (instructor had a baby!!) so it just keeps on going. I was trying to gain employment to get out from a dysfunctional environment. I luv your energy; I wish I could have had someone like you in my growing-up years. I run my own race without thinking who’s watching. With parents that severely robbed my present and future because of their old-fashion ways, I cannot think of–who’s watching! I really needed to start my education at an early age because this course really requires NATURAL youthful stamina to avoid stressed out weak Adrenals that come with aging! In this course only 2 will ever make it thru no matter what the size is of the class; which requires stamina to write fast, be able to write over 250 words a minute, thinking faster than 250 wpm, learning a new language, knowledge in all areas of life. This course is not for sissies. I didn’t know this because this course is not given a lot of media attention. My health got bad because of the stamina it requires and still trying to finish what I started so with the help of God, I still hope to finish.
