Revisit: How To Know When To End Things
Episode #558 How do you know when to STOP? When you're reading a book, at what point will you stop reading if you feel like it's not what you're expecting? If you're in a relationship, when are you going to stop doing things that are hurting your partner and your bond? If your business is failing, when should you quit? People are so used to living a life where they feel obligated to say 'yes' to things or self-sacrifice...not because they want to, but because they feel they have to. But most of us don't realize that there are deeper questions underlying this: Why are we doing these things in the first place? Are there patterns and behaviors shaping your life where you just continue to quit? In this episode, we're going to talk about how to identify the signs in your life that it may be time to stop...and make a change. ————- Hungry for more?
