Quitting is Positive | Filed under General
I have a feeling you have always heard a winner never quits but you know what many times that is not correct actually that can be the most incorrect statement that you can hear and one of the most damanaging. I know coming from me you are surprised but wait a minute, stick with me and I’ll have you seeing things my way or at least I’ll have given my all. That is what it is all about to me giving my all, giving my best, being happy. Most of us view quitting as something negative, but it’s not. ‘Winners never quit,’ we’re told, when, in reality, winners quit all the time: choosing to stop doing things that aren’t creating the results we desire. When we quit the things that aren’t working for us, when we quit tolerating all the negative things that hold we back, we’ll create a positive ‘charge’ in our life as well as create the space in our life for more positive experiences.
If you employ the power of positive quitting. you just might become happier, you might find that quitting is a positive force in your life. If you don’t believe me just try quitting a a few of these:
Quit abusing tobacco, alchohol, caffeine, food.
Quit doing things that aren’t bringing you the results you want.
Quit procrastinating and find yourself less rushed and hurried.
Quit putting up with damaging, abusive, and negative relationships .
Quit feeling miserable for yourself and being miserable about stuff beyond your control.
Quit trying to be everything, to do everything, and to have everything.
If you don’t believe me just take that step and be a positive quitter, I know some who have and some who are doing that. Be happy, take control of your life so you will be saying Life Is Simply Good.
By the way Walker, I enjoyed sharing your bed this weekend.

I have tried to quit a few of those things on your list. Sometimes it takes being ready for it to be successful. I am just not ready yet.

Great post, Vickie. My quest in life is to quit letting stress get to me - all the time. I seem to get snowed under before I know it at times; I have improved.
The procrastination rang true to me, it’s one thing I don’t like (unless I make the decision to procrastinate LOL) because it causes more stress. I like to get the tasks done so I can sit back and relax, preparing for the next tasks. This is the main reason why I clean and run errands on Friday instead of putting them off. Anal? Perhaps some days but I have a method to my madness.
Sharing beds: we heard you two on the porch, you know!
Love ya, girl friend!

You’ve nailed me on a least a half dozen issues that I should quit on. Alas, the power of a craving, the grasp of a personality flaw. Maybe, just maybe, I can draw from the depth of your wisdom, the strength of your personality and pureness of soul. I can do better, I know.

A defination of insane is to keep doing the same thing over and over again. Expecting a different result each time.

Now I know where the noises were coming from! heheheh
Good post, Vickie, yeah, there are some things that are good to quit.
I needed that reminder today.
As for me, I am going to quit thinking about the negative things and concentrate on the positive.
April 4th, 2006 at 2:11 pm
You and Walker crack me up.
I hear you about removing negative relationships from life and I am definitely heeding that advice.
Take care of yourself, Vickie. You’re right, life IS good.

Great post. You got me! Have you been spying on me in the morning. If you have, ugh, what a sight, huh? LOL.
Seriously though, I really do need to cut back on the coffee. I’m almost past the point of no return on my intake . LOL
Hope all is well!

I need to cut down on the caffeine, too.
And, who is Walker??

I have just quit smoking my, forth day to be exact and I won’t say it;s easy but it has to be done.
The things in our lives that poison our bodies and sould have to be extricated at some point to help us enjoy what we have.
It was a pleasure sharing my bed with you.
You really know how to warm me up

Yeah, I am a quitter too and proud of it!
I quit smoking.
I quit drinking to excess.
I quit allowing others to abuse my friendship.
I quit trying to be supermom.
It does feel good to quit some things in your life. That way you can actually have a life! In my case…and in so many cases…quitters sometimes do win!!
