Sometimes quitting is a good thing! Here are 10 things I quit that have made a huge difference in my life.
- I quit trying to change people and accepted it was me that needed to change.
- I quit letting my past experiences and results dictate my beliefs and possibilities for my future.
- I quit blaming other people for my problems.
- I quit blaming God and my wife for the death of our first son, Joey.
- I quit thinking I had to fully understand it for it to be true/truth.
- I quit hanging out with the wrong people. (This is not judgment but is a reflection of how I think and who speaks into me.)
- I quit believing the lies and started to believe in myself and in my capabilities.
- I quit quitting the good things. (I would try something good and because it didn’t work the first or second time, I would give up.)
- I quit blaming myself for the death of our second son, Kyle Jr.
- I quit trying to be right all the time. (I was never very successful at it anyway!)
It’s kind of ironic that I wrote a chapter in a book called Don’t Quit: Stories of Persistence, Courage and Faith. But there are some things we are better off quitting. The challenge is knowing how to identify the people/things/behaviors/thinking that are worthy of separating yourself from so you can be a better YOU … to you and to those around you.
We will be breaking down many of these specifics in future blogs and share via videos on our Facebook Page, YouTube Channel and email list. Please like our Facebook page and subscribe to our YouTube channel. Also visit more of our website to learn more about our Mission and Vision.
