Quit?

Is it just me or does anyone else feel like when we want to start working on some activity, possibly an activity that encapsulates our passion, we think about so many possibilities and we keep waiting for the perfect moment to begin the activity, even though every moment is the same, and we just don't find the perfect time to actually start the activity?

Hello there, I'm the Earthian.

Ironically, when we decide to quit the activity of our passion because it's just too hard, we instantaneously quit it. Like, we never think twice about quitting. Why is it? First of all, to clarify my statement, if you're passionate about something, you will never quit on it. So the fact that you really are quitting on something, questions the credibility of your passion. And secondly, why is it so easy to quit? Why is it that we are not able to remember the pains we went through before we started the activity? Why is it that we feel guiltily relieved when we quit the activity of our passion? Why is it that we are able to throw away what took so long to build, in a second, because of our short-comings. Now, I'm not the one to tell you that life is full of difficulties if you decide to travel in your own path. It's axiomatic. You should have known the risks involved in doing what you think you should do. And you should know that quitting on your passion means quitting on yourself and hence you're going to be settling for mediocrity. As overwhelming as it is, to carve our own path into life, it's very much plausible. Maybe you don't really want to quit. Just ask yourself if you really do want to quit, everytime you feel like you do. Because there is a strong chance that a part of you will be telling you otherwise. A strong chance that a part of you will be rooting for the actual dreams of yours. You might want to listen to that part every once in a while.

A wise man once said, "If you want to quit, quit tomorrow." Think about it. And if you want to do something, there is no better time than right now. Just do it. Start doing it. Feel yourself.

Lots of love, peace.
