When To Quit An Area Of Interest.

The phrase never give up has been an inspirational watchword for many years  And do not quit is synonymous to it. The key is; You should never give up on work that are worthwhile, valuable and inspiring. But you should give up on projects and pursuits that quench your fire and make you feel critically depressed and hopeless. 

If the work or project is no longer inspiring and fulfilling, it is time to diversify into different areas that ignite your passion, not immediately but gradually till you find a good foundation in your new area of interest to be able to quit the previous one. 

More importantly, you should quit what you hate doing. Most people who commit suicide do what they hate and feel terribly depressed due to despair, a complete lack of hope. If a man does what he hates, he hates himself. Hatred for oneself is simply killing. Without hope, love, admiration for and confidence in oneself, man is dead inside. Without hope that the future can be made better, there will be nothing to ignite your fire, to keep you going during difficult times.

The strongest people in the world do not pick up all fights. Pick up what is worthwhile. As you have a to-do list, you should have a never-do list too. A never-do list free up extra time, resources and energy for your most important goals. 

Achievers understand that they cannot do everything, they cannot pursue all interest and they experiment more than anyone to find which one is worth their time investment. They quit misguiding projects and fail more on areas of interest till they discover what is truly valuable and within their heart and passion and finally miracle happened for them.

Facebook was not the first thing Mark Zuckerberg built. Warren Buffett played around some worthless stocks before finally deciding to run Coca-cola full-time. These people understand that failure is an option to greatness because with it, you can ask yourself some honest questions. 

Honest questions like; Who am I, What do I want. How can I level up. Is this job really me? How valuable will this project be to me 50 years from now. If the answer to these questions are pushing you in a different direction, now is the time to do a little bit of a new investment area of interest. Thank you.
