I failed many times & almost Quit but stopped! Quitting is not an option; it’s a choice.
Everything is hard, but quitting is easy!
People have bad days.
People have bad weeks.
But I had a bad year.
Can you believe it? I don’t, but I do.
I have always been a person who never gives up,
who tries hard, very hard.
No matter what, I never quit.
But this time, things changed,
everything changed,
so did I.
I don’t know what came over me.
For the first time, I told myself, ‘I quit’
I was no longer the same person that I used to be.
What changed me?
You’re probably thinking.
I also thought the same.
There was a year when things were very hard for me.
I almost wanted to quit.
I was surrounded by negativity.
Everyone has a purpose.
Everyone has a great career.
Everyone has a great life.
And when I looked at me, I had nothing…..That’s what I thought.
I never share something unless I’m sure about it.
What’s funny was I wasn’t sure about me, my career, my purpose, and the list goes on.
My mind was filled with stupid, weird questions that I had before, but this time they were consuming me.
Why am I born?
Why am I here?
What is my purpose?
Whatever I’m doing, is this what I’m meant for?
Am I going in the right direction?
And so on
I can only hear the voices in my head,
but I get only silence from the other side.
I was going crazy not getting answers to my questions.
People say, ‘You will know everything with time,’
but I don’t know when that time will come.
My curiosity was killing me.
People say, ‘You have to figure it out,’
but what if I couldn’t?
I started to experiment, trying new things.
But every time I failed, I thought, ‘This is not for me’
It was demotivating me, like I wasn’t meant for anything.
I was crazy about fiction stories (fantasies, rom-com, action…)
Stories were like in my mind, but I never realized that it could be something that might change everything.
When I realized I could write, I was excited.
I had something.
I started my journey, but soon I realized there are people like me who can write, maybe more amazingly than me.
But this didn’t stop me because everyone starts with nothing and takes it to something.
But I also didn’t know it’s a slow process,
I had no time because things were getting hard.
Everyone asked me what I will do.
As I told you, I don’t say until I’m sure.
When they saw my silence,
I could hear their voices: ‘You are just wasting your time,’ ‘Drop this, you won’t go anywhere,’ ‘This won’t take you anywhere,’ ‘You don’t want to do anything,’ ‘You are your enemy’
I thought they were right.
I thought I was doing wrong.
I thought they knew better.
I thought I was the problem.
I thought every negative thought that I could possibly think of.
I thought I should quit writing,
Quit something that I was starting to love doing,
Quit something that I’m passionate about.
I thought taking a decent job would give me more happiness, more respect, more money — more, more, more — like everyone says.
But then one day, I met a person.
She was old and wise soul
I don’t know how I met her;
It was like God had sent her to me,
like she had answers to all my questions.
“I feel compelled to quit; it seems like my only option” I said to her
She said, “Quitting is not an option but its a choice”
“If you choose to quit, you’ll miss out on the incredible feeling of being a winner. Winning takes sweat, trying new things, and yes, stumbling and falling. It’s okay to be scared of failing — it’s a scary step that even the most successful people take. So, as you grind away and try new stuff, don’t let the fear of falling flat hold you back.”
‘Why God doesn’t show you the path is because if He shows you, you will never walk on that path due to fear’
“Choosing to quit is often the easiest route, and it’s a path taken by 99% of people. But then there’s that extraordinary 1% — the ones who push through, overcome, and taste success. Now the ball’s in your court; who do you want to be?”
Her words were pure magic, each one hitting me like a powerful force.
She told me her own story,
how she was in my situation,
how things were hard for her too.
Her own story mirrored mine,
it was incredibly inspiring.
So here I am, sharing my journey with you.
Life is unpredictable,
There will be moments when quitting seems like the easy way out.
But remember, it’s always a choice.
Choose the path that challenges you, that makes you grow.
Gratitude to her,
I owe a lot to the wisdom she shared.
Thought I’d pass it on — maybe it’ll hit home for you too.
Ever been through something like this?
What was your game-changer?
