There are many reasons to call it quits. It is easier to quit than to persist.
There are comforts in what you do, the safety net you have in present relationships, and the cushion of financial support; many such reasons stop you from taking risks. Taking up something new is by means risky. Always.
There are discomforts of uncertainty, fear of failure, disappointing someone, and losing crucial relationships. There are bleak signs of where you are headed. And that's true about anytime you engage in new terrain.
Marching ahead requires a balancing act. You need to deal with comforts and discomforts boldly. And that involves composure to consider why you are taking up something that looks uncertain.
Engaging with new is a responsible act. It is an act of making a change possible through your work. It is an act of making something better for someone. It's stretching yourself in the direction and being the conduit for the change. Doing so even when you see that you might fail. And persisting by learning and altering. Consciously.
Changing something for the better is an act only a few can own. The difference between change makers and the beneficiaries of the change is that they are on two sides of the court.
Everyone has a change in their mind. Yet the change maker is the one who manages the crucial final push and hops over the fence. It requires mental grit. That defines which side of the court you are on. The other side of the court admires you for choosing to drive the change.
