I quit!

Do you know when to fold? How do you determine if this is the tipping point when you should call it quits?

There are highs and then there are lows. Life is constantly swinging something at us. You have the upending ups and then the decimating downs. Sometimes a win looks like a peak summit and a ditch looks like a bottomless pit. Neither are true. It is what you feel and experience. Your thoughts are your ultimate reality and they determine your perception.

Literary experts, political nemesis, brilliant actors and even breakthrough scientists have a lull period. Do all of them get miserable? Yes. Do all of them call quits? No. They hibernate, chip away at something else, chill it out and basically let their minds reset before restarting the toil and hard work.

So let’s learn to be humane & swim with the tides. Don’t give up too soon. Stay at it, for the art, for the love and for the expression. Remember, always, the art is first for the artist, then for the rest of the world.
