Have you ever attempted to learn something new, a new language, to play guitar, learn a new trade, or get physically in shape? If so, you know how at first the progress feels incredibly slow. It’s easy to think what’s the use and give up but it’s essential to stay the course with whatever it is because quitting is not the habit you will want to learn. Repeating the pattern of not staying the course creates a bad habit.
The practice of staying to course is one of the most important lessons we can learn. Now I will say, it should be something that’s worth your time invested and if you started down a road that’s not something you want to pursue, of course, don’t go there but don’t quit. Get a good handle on why you don’t want to continue, make sure it’s not just giving up then pivot, change directions and use that time to do something else, something more meaningful and stay the course by putting in the effort and using your time more wisely.
Change is not easy. Change always has its price, but change is one of the most important and constant musts in life.
Stay the Course!
