Keep in mind that you might not be 100% there right away, but at least now you have a direction you can work towards. Use it as a filter for major career decisions which will help guide you towards the work you were born to do.

Episode 429: Why You SHOULD Give Up

1 Simple Thing Action:
If something isn’t working…stop doing it! “Never give up” is terrible advice. It’s okay to make mistakes; you can make mistakes and recover. The greater mistake is to be unwilling to step out and make a choice when you come to that fork in the road. Go to the right or go to the left. Either choice may or may not be okay, but remaining stuck is what happens with a lot of people, and that is not okay.
