You wouldnt be interested.
You wouldnt have started the relationship, or the career, or whatever it is.
If something is really, completely wrong for you, theres no attachment there.
God & Man
What you have to give up on is the almosts.
What you have to give up on are your unrealistic expectations.
Your own relentless pressure to mold yourself into a person that you were never meant to be.
Your desire to force a relationship that just isnt going to happen.
What you have to give up on is the old life that your former self-drafted up in your mind.
You dont have it because youve changed.
Youre different, youre new.
But what about the resilience it takes to admit that maybe, your struggle isnt a sign of growth?
Yes, life is hard sometimes.
You have to show up every day.
You arent going to be amazing at anything the first time you try it.
You are going to have to log your 10,000 hours before you might even think of mastery.
It takes a lot of courage to admit when you have to give up.
The things you give up on are not synonymous with the things youve failed at.
Nobody really knows what they want until theyve experienced what they dont.
It doesnt mean you have to face the unknown.
It doesnt mean you have to rewrite the whole story of what you thought your life should be.
Just like how being indecisive is what happens when you know the answer, but cannot accept it.
The sooner you start again, the sooner you will arrive.
The sooner you let go, the sooner you’re free to find something new.
The sooner you rest, the sooner you will be ready.
