What does it mean to be a quitter? Who are quitters? Failure just like success can be predictable. Our actions and efforts determine the kind of result we are most likely to obtain. Once you have chosen to take the easy road, you automatically become a failure at whatever it is you were working on. Keep in mind that failing is not the worst thing that could happen to someone. If you fail once, try again next time and you will have a double chance of succeeding. However, once you quit you have already reached the end of the line.

More about the Episode:

Life has a way of always making us doubt ourselves, it can rattle you until you feel like you cannot go on. That is probably the reason why we often feel the only way to survive is to just stop working towards our goals. The hope for progress, growth, and success just dwindles until you decide throwing in the towel is the best decision you can make.

The art of giving up is one our minds learn over the years by meeting challenges and being subjected to failure and disappointments. Sometimes we get to a point where we just conclude it is easier to let go now than deal with the pain of losing later. The repeated thoughts of quitting end up mapping a pattern in our minds. We get hammered into the irresistible cycle of giving up when challenged or when we meet the smallest huddle in our path.

In the mind of a quitter; the words perseverance, persistence, and determination become foreign. In the face of any adversity, the viable choice for quitters will always be to give up. When the mind is infested with the quitting bug it automatically loses its fluidity, your mind becomes static and stops dreaming or looking beyond what you think are your capabilities.

1. What if l fail?

2. I do not have the time now

3. There is no reason to go on

4. I am not good enough for this

6. I can`t find motivation or inspiration

7. Maybe it is not meant for me

8. No one understands what l am going through so they cannot help
