“Giving up doesn’t always mean you’re weak, sometimes it means you are strong enough and smart enough to let go and move on.”

 

Many motivational quotes tell us to “keep going”, and “never ever give up”.  I, myself, am guilty of posting several of them. I often encourage people to “stick with it”, whatever “it” might be. But today, I want to tell you to heed this type of advice because it does not apply to everything.  Everyone’s life is different and although motivational quotes can be helpful they must be applied with wisdom.

Take relationships as an example. I read a quote on this subject a while back that said: “Every relationship goes through hell, only real relationships get through it.” I don’t know who said it first but I do know that it is all over the Internet and is being repeated and read by millions. On the surface, it is a really nice quote and can be helpful to couples who may be going through a rough patch and need to stick it out. But this quote doesn’t take into consideration abusive relationships that no one should be encouraged to stay in.

The same goes for everything in life, sometimes you need to push yourself over the hump but you also need to have enough wherewithal to know when it’s time to let go and let God.  I pray you learn the difference today.

Stay Conscious & Chic!
