Contest Alert: I did not quit.

Greetings to everyone! How are you doing today? I hope you are having a wonderful weekend? Also how’s the weather over there? Well as for me, the weather here is Hot as Hell.

It’s my pleasure to participate in this contest organized by @lhorgic titled “I Did Not Quit”

What do you understand by the word Quit?

The word Quit means "Giving up on something” it could be a Goal or a Commitment. Quitting usually is connected to bad situations of defeats or failure. Although it can also be a decision one has to take to protect yourself for some unforseen circumstances.

Have you ever being at the verge of quiting/giving up before? What were the challenges?

Yes I have, Something of recent happened in my school. I was to write a very difficult assignment which the lecturer wanted to use as our assessment combined with other academic stress-tests, assignments and project proposals. The deadline was so close and the assignment itself appeared to be unmanageable together with the great pressure that comes with it. I lost confidence and the want to give up grew.

At that point, a close friend said to me, Do I know I can lose to win? He broke it down for me to understand, then I just took a break from all and I rested. Then the next day I was so energized and ideas lingered in and I was able to finish my assignment.

How did you overcome the challenges, (practical steps would be much appreciated) and how did you feel afterward.

I was able to overcome the challenges by being strategic and also with a mental adjustment. After taking a break the assignment that seems difficult and large became simple. I had to put a switch in my mindset, looking at the assignment as something I can actually do with ease, thereby dividing them into parts and seeking help from my colleagues, it reminded me that I wasn’t alone and gave me an insightful information.

I felt so happy and fulfilled.

What's your advice for those in your shoes?

Although it depends on the situation but in my own case and those in my shoes, Quitting is never an option. There is hope when you have positive mindset. Believe in your ability to overcome difficulties because every challenge has the potential for growth and triumph.

Break down difficult tasks into manageable steps, seek support, and prioritise self-care.
