Unless you really want to!
I’ve given up PLENTY of times. If I didn’t, I probably wouldn’t have learned the many things I have over the years. Giving up is how we see what else is out there. Giving up is great!
You could always come back to whatever it is you gave up on. Heck, I gave up on my wife at one point! Before she was my wife. It was 6 years between even speaking to each other.
So give up, regroup, give it some time to miss it. We never know what we can’t live without, until we in fact have lived with it and lived without it.
Why waste the time when you know you’ll give up anyway? I know it sounds like horrible advice because when things get tough, persistence will pay off. Like everything else in life, there’s more than just black and white. There’s a grey area where the real world exists.
Don’t give up ALL the time and don’t stick it out TOO long. You’ll know when the time comes.
