How to stop quitting halfway through?

Starting on a journey to achieve goals for the future frequently feels like entering into unknown territory. Everyone has experienced the excitement of starting a project, only to find themselves losing fire halfway through. This common problem represents a conflict between human nature and modern expectations, appealing to a basic component of human behavior.

🏁 Why do you want to quit?

How is it possible, that now you are getting thoughts of quitting something you liked doing so much in the beginning?

Our past is the primary issue. We used to seek immediate results to survive. Remember that our primary concern as hunters and gatherers was to get food and shelter as soon as possible, not later. This urge for instant rewards is still in our brains.

How to stop quitting?

Finally, let’s talk about how to fight the willingness to stop and continue to do something.m

💪 Today’s Results Don’t come from today’s Work.

The graph shows how our actions have cumulative and complex impacts over time. Even while we might not notice the benefits or consequences of our actions right away, they will eventually accumulate and grow in significance. It happens because our memories of these actions fade quickly, whereas the effects continue to grow.

If we quit before we see results right away, we might not realize the rewards of our efforts over time. For example, we might not experience noticeable weight loss or improved health shortly if we start running every day. But if we keep up our regular training, eventually we will see these benefits, and they will get better with time.

When we understand the idea of compounding effects, we may maintain our motivation and dedication to our goals even in the lack of instant results. We can also learn to value the little things we do every day because we know they provide the foundation for bigger and better things down the road.

🗺 Embrace the Process, Not Just the Outcome

Sometimes, the process of reaching our objectives is more significant than the final destination. While achieving our goals is certainly enjoyable, the journey there is what forms, teaches, and stimulates personal development.

Imagine building a house; the result would be a solid, beautifully constructed residence. But the real worth is in the building process, the many hours of laborious effort, careful preparation, and never-ending learning that go into its making. Every wall raised, every nail driven, every thought put into detail—all of these things add to the final result.

Similar to this, pursuing our goals leads to personal growth and development. If we only think about the result, we might miss the resilience, skills, and important lessons we learn along our journey.

Our actions compound each other. Even if we fail to recognize the effects right away, the tiny actions we take now will have a big influence on our future.
