Giving Up

I’m taking advantage of an uninterrupted block of time to think about giving up.

Not giving up in the sense of throwing in the towel and quitting, but giving up the battle, giving up the fight.

I recently had an interaction that upset me. It challenged me in new ways and made me question a few things.  

After I had a chance to distance and digest, to rest and reflect, I was able to embrace the art of giving up. I gave up the internal and external fight I was having with this situation. I gave up the quest to be right and “win” based on principle.

I gave it all up.

But I didn’t give up on myself. The beauty in all of this is that since this happened I have gained more than I ever thought I would gain. I gained professional growth, I gained peace of mind, I gained more time to focus on communicating the experiences and stories that truly matter, and I gained an experience that has only proven to make me stronger.

For those of you who are thinking of giving up: my one piece of advice to you is Go For It! Just make sure you don’t give up on yourself ????#jaisycommunications #smallbusiness #marketing #hawaiimarketing
