Most of us are open to new job opportunities. In fact, various surveys support this assumption and show that more than a two third of people are passively or actively looking for new job. But how do you know it\u2019s time pull the trigger and quit? Your job as an example? I personally worked very hard to figure out the answer. Well, would be much easier if there were a foolproof formula, a one-size-fits-all strategy for knowing absolutely and positively when to bail on something – be it your job, a goal, relationship, in other words, a life path. Sorry, but there is no magic answer. Nevertheless, I have a good news for you in figuring out the right time if you use these to troubleshoot your thoughts and behaviors:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n First,\nknow that your super powerful machine, that is your brain is your\nbiggest obstacle. Secondly, how you think provides the super glue\nthat keeps you stuck meaning that you need to take a close look at\nthe habits of mind that are blurring your vision and making you think\nyou should wait just a little bit longer and see how things turn out.\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nobody\nlikes thinking of themselves as a ”quitter”, but there\u2019s no point\nin staying stuck in something if it\u2019s not accomplishing anything or\nmaking you happy. In those cases, it\u2019s sometimes wiser to cut your\nlosses of time and energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now,\nlet’s go back in clarifying how and when do I know it s right time to\nmake a change in my life and live that something? If you\u2019re\nstruggling with knowing whether to quit -whatever it is, could be\nalso personal commitment, an activity, or even a (bad) habit, please\nconsider to ask yourself some questions and I’m sure you will get\ncloser to the answer – if the time is\/isn’t right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So,\nask yourself and answer honestly to these questions: \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n Are\nyou doing this for yourself or for someone else?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Keep\nin mind that you and only you are responsible of your own life. You\nare the screen-player and a film Director. Hence, do your best to\nstay true to yourself. That means if you\u2019re not feeling it, wanting\nit, desiring it, it is time to let it go. Don\u2019t let the opinions of\nothers make you do anything you don\u2019t want to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Is\nit in alignment with your vision and goals (if you have one?!)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Let’s\nget clear on this, – you need goals if you want to be successful\nassuming thereby that your goals are in alignment with who you are\nand where you\u2019re going. If the answer is negative, ”no, my goals\naren’t aligned with who am I” – let go of any activities that\naren\u2019t helping you achieve your personal and professional goals and\nrather spend your mental, emotional, and financial resources where\nthey matter to you. You need goals if you want to be successful\u2013but\nonly if your goals align with who you are and where you\u2019re going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Do\nyou feel motivated?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Are\nyou motivated in that what you are doing? The last thing you feel\nlike doing is spending your most precious currency nowadays \u2013 your\ntime on things that make you feel\nexhausted,drained,frustrated,unhappy! If you want to be successfully\nand satisfied with and in your life you need motivation ’cause\nwithout this driving force it is very tough, hard and frustrating \nkeep progressing. Why? Because motivation brings us positive\nexpectations, sense of excitement, good vibes and energy,\nhappiness…It simply pulls you forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Are\nyou enjoying yourself?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n It\nis linked with your motivation. If you do not enjoy than ask yourself\nwhy you are doing it at all bearing in mind that really few things in\nlife are important enough to be worth doing (you know what they are).\nGreat things happen when you\u2019re doing something you love. Would you\nagree? Hence, if it is not case, it’s time to take action. .<\/p>\n\n\n\n Does\nit have any utility for you ?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If\nnot, then stop. If that something -again, be it a job, habit, \ncommitment, or whatever isn\u2019t helping you live your best life, and\nnot only this but it stops serving you in a way that is meaningful,\nguess what? Time to quit, however, do not quit anything over\nsomething just because ”it went wrong”! Leave and change or quit\nknowing you did your best and nothing made it better. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
