Write down why you quit the last thing you quit. If the reason keeps repeating, that’s the real lesson.

STILLNESS

WHAT THIS MEANS

Quitting is not one thing: leaving a team because a coach humiliated you is a different act from leaving the week it got hard, and from outside they look identical. The reason is the part worth knowing, because reasons repeat even when the activity changes. A pattern in your exits tells you more than any single decision does.

Think back to the last thing you stopped doing and write the honest reason in one sentence. Then do the same for the one before it. If the sentences rhyme, you have found something you can work on. Not every quit is a mistake, and some were plainly the right call.
