Picking your Battles, Part 1

A Time to Sharpen

Jul 28 2022 • 27 mins

“Winners never quit; and quitters never win.” Or so the old saying goes. But I think we can all admit that there is a time to reassess our situation. You might call it “charging in another direction”, or “changing gears,” or “hitting the reset button,” but whatever metaphor you choose, the fact remains that sticking with the original plan is sometimes the epitome of foolishness.

The tricky thing is knowing when to quit. When have we moved from perseverance into stubbornness? Sometimes as parents, teachers, and counselors, we let our pride get the best of us. We dig in and plant our flag on some pretty insignificant mole hills that aren’t worth dying on.

This two-part podcast of “A Time to Sharpen” addresses the issue of when it’s ok to quit. You can still be a winner if you do so wisely.
