96: Are You a Quitter?

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">What exactly does quitting mean to you? This is a question I’ve been thinking about a lot lately, especially in terms of how quitting is different from giving up. Everyone knows that I simply will not settle, but I can tell you that I do, and I have, quit things in the past, but I don’t give up. There’s a huge difference between the two, and that’s precisely what I want to talk to you about today.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I’ll begin by explaining the ‘sunk cost fallacy’ as well as the difference between quitting and giving up. We’ll then walk through some examples from my own life where I have chosen to quit, look at more general examples of quitting such aspects of life as relationships, jobs, and goals, and review the need to exhaust all other options in these situations. The notion of feeling judged by others for quitting is also discussed, and I’ll finish up with some essential questions to ask yourself when considering quitting. Understanding the crucial difference between quitting and giving up in life, and doing the work to ensure that you approach these decisions thoughtfully and intentionally will have a significant impact upon your success and your ultimate happiness, so be sure to listen in and take note today.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As always, if there is ever a topic you would like me to discuss, a guest you’d like me to interview on the podcast, or feedback you wish to offer, please feel free to contact me at</span> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">pr@kellytravis.net</span> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">- I would love to hear from you!</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></p> <p><strong>The Finer Details of This Episode:</strong></p> <ul> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">The sunk cost fallacy</span></li> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">The difference between quitting and giving up</span></li> <li><span style="fo
