Takeaways

Sometimes it’s just not the season to follow through on the original plan.
It doesn’t have to be all or nothing. It’s a continuous process – it’s those little leaps of faith that build upon each other and create more clarity and foster more confidence within ourselves that lead to more fulfillment and life satisfaction.
Make your quit list.
Ask yourself: is it time to ditch the physical manifestation of your “thing” and pursue something different to get to the same outcome, or should you pause and come back to it another time?
Once you’re stepping toward the thing that you’re considering, you’ll free pretty quickly whether it’s the right thing for you or not.
