I go through cycles of giving up and starting again. Tomorrow might be a different story from today. I exhaust myself in work, and when it doesn’t seem to go right, I push the work off again. A weird thing happens then, though. My mind gets a break, and somewhere in the quiet of my mind, which was once screaming with chaos, a solution emerges. I’m re-energized to begin again.

I’ve found that I do some of my best work once I give up. It’s called failure, and it’s the launchpad to success.

Maybe you need to throw your hands up…and then roll up your sleeves once more.
