When to stop?

It’s a question we ask many times. When to stop a job, a relationship, a business, a piece of art, whatever we may be doing.

We all get to a point where we might want to add more, take something away, or it might not be working.

We are constantly bombarded with this macho ‘don’t quit’ mentality and just keep going.

There isn’t a magic formula on when to stop, but it is a personal choice and we don’t need others permission and we can choose what feels good and right for us. We do not have to keep doing something to prove a point to ourselves and especially not others.

Stop when you want not when we are told to.

What we allow

Often we look to others for approval, for permission. It is a way of ‘passing the buck’ and negating making a decision ourselves. It’s all part of the procrastination process coupled with the fear of offending others or not living up to expectations.

The fact is, it is entirely our freedom and what we allow is what we allow. We do not need permission or approval for anything we choose to do. Our choices will have a consequence and an outcome.

But life is all about what we allow to happen in our lives.
