There are many times when quitting is the smartest thing to do. If you’re hitting your thumb with a hammer, don’t try to do it better or more efficiently - stop hitting your thumb. Quit - look for a better alternative. Don’t focus on the humiliation of quitting. See this as a go-up opportunity. Quitting the thing where you’re just mediocre or that is making you miserable is not a humiliation - it’s a brilliant decision to move to something better. It can free you up to move into your Zone of Genius.
