The art of giving up

“Never give up”. Motivational speakers will always try to sell this. Never give up. You can do it. Work hard. Things will change. There is light at the end of the tunnel.
But sometimes it is okay to give up. Sometimes it is the right decision to give up. Giving up shouldn’t be the end of the world. It might be the start of something new. You also can give up now and start again later. It doesn’t just need to end.
I have been contemplating giving up making videos. In the last blog I wrote I was all pumped up about starting again. But the reality is, I can just give up. Maybe video isn’t my thing. Or maybe I can just give up now and start again later. I don’t need to force things for the sake of just doing it. I haven’t had the mental or physical capacity to include videos in my daily routine. I am not sad about it. I do get frustrated sometimes. But I am happy with the way my life is going.
So if it goes like this, I can just give up and take a break. Maybe it is the best thing. Maybe I can start over later. But keeping hope just to not give up isn’t the best thing to do.
I know I am contradicting what I just said in the last blog. But that is how my mind has been recently, back and forth. Hope things get resolved. Either I give up or I keep going. But remember, there’s no shame in giving up. Somethings might not be meant for you. But there are other things that are yours to take. You can give it all there.
