It's a good thing, but it needs to be kept in check. Successful business owners and investors know that quitting can be the best move. Knowing when to quit is essential. doing it unemotionally and with confidence that you can move on to something better...is essential. Not having that confidence...that's why so many people go down with the ship even though they have the talent and resources to make soemthing better of themselves. “never quit” is a paradigm that gets drilled into us.

My head and heart are still in battle over it. My rational mind knows it was the right decision but my emotional mind still keeps thinking about it, both the good parts and the bad.

In a personal relationship, there are behaviours to alter or end, and their is a promise, life covenant which requires not a singular effort, but a cooperative effort between the individual and his Creator, to love as you are loved. This effort ends with the individuals dying breath. This life journey takes one down a path of learning, on might not otherwize have encountered, that is a key loss. Peace.

Example, If you have a business and it's not working you try it again but changing the way you used to do things or maybe change the name of your business or changing the cover of you product or something like that.

I don't want to quit a good thing because I am making a big thing out of minor bumps in the road. (I know I have a continuing habit of making mountians out of molehills, but also of tolerating much more than I need to). Suggestions?

Lots to think about. I should give up on the website. I don't have a good exit strategy - i.e. how do I recoup my losses, what else can I market, should I give the marketing more time? Lots of questions, not sure where the answers are. (I believe in praying for God's guidance, but the finer points of website commerce are not exactly spelled out in the Bible.) Thanks for listening!

I like your "three strikes and you are out" approach for business deals etc. Maybe that's because I too am a baseball fan from way back. When it comes to relationships I have a different approach. As long as there is continuing growth and a desire to expand both as a couple and as individuals COMBINED with taking responsibility by each party for what they are or are not creating, I think the relationship still has fuel. If you ask the right questions and the answers feel downstream most of the time that is the best sign. If the answers always feel upstream and you have had it with swimming against the tide it is probably time to shake hands and walk away as cleanly as possible. Not pointing the finger works best for getting to the truth quickly and honestly. One of my favorite things to remember is that wherever you go there you are so it is best to fix oneself first and then see what sticks and what doesn't. Focus on what you do want not what you don't and be in touch with your feelings. Minus blame, guilt, manipulation and controlling behavior; the choice that is best for both should be fairly obvious.

It faces me to a problem I should think it over. And analyse. If I do nothing - see the previouse. How many times? It depends upon the situation. But I have a plan. I do realyse it. And ask to help the universe. Thanks Randy for your books. It helps me great. I do mistakes, sometimes again and again. It faces me to a problem I should think it over. And analyse.

Or at least identify the criteria to leave that venture behind you, way before you get too emotionally invested. I wish it was that easy to say in relationship...

In short, I rely on my gift/spirit of discernment that God has given me (us) through the experiences I was given in the past - sometimes through mistakes, trials and hardships in life which after all became His gifts and blessings of knowing him on a personal level through those experiences. I normally know the right decision at the beginning. Period. So, I will continue on until I get it, no matter what. In other times, when a new goal that I begin to go for is still unclear and foggy, I wouldn't quit right away, but I hold on to a situation, regardless of all the questionable similar incidents that might take place related to this particular situation, and still holding on, contiuing on continuing on as I observe to see if circumstances worth my persistance and attentions. I might go through about three similar questionable incidents, but when the fourth similar incidient comes around, and when I see a thing or a person's value system not coinciding with mine regarding the principle which is to "put others or things first in front of you in love," only then in confidence I will let go of a situation knowing that I made the right decision in peace. The situation could well be a business deal or a person(s) that I may be confronting with. I'm aware by now that God has his own will for each one of his children, and we know his will through the gift/spirit of discernment that he's given us regarding the things/situations that we deal with in our lives, and that's the way we grow in knowledge, wisdom, love, and faith, and getting to know our Maker personally. This was one of the most interesting subjects, Randy. I tend to write a lengthy comment, due to the English language being my second language. lol I stop here before it gets very long... lol . I look forward to your next blog. Thank you, Randy. This is one of the most interesting subjects, Randy.
