Y is for You Can

I want to reiterate, it is okay to give up. Some things aren’t worth the price. There is SO MUCH you can do with your life; go after the stuff you really want, that you have a chance of achieving, and that won’t hurt other (and if possible, do the stuff that will help others).

For writing or editing or reading or embroidery or art or whatever, if it makes you happy. If you go back and look things over and say…I’m getting better. If you like it – for goodness sakes, keep going. You may never make it big time, but you are allowed to have HOBBIES. You don’t have to master everything. You don’t have to make money at it. Don’t give up / you can to it quadrant is the best.

But don’t ignore the “give up” quadrants. They are equally legitimate. And they give you more time to live in the Don’t give up/you can do it quadrant with the things you really, really want to do.

Q is for Quote

Just saw a quote that said "you did not wake up today to be mediocre" and it's like ummm yes I did it's a tuesday

Okay, it is a Monday, but the point stands.

Another quote I have seen (paraphrase) – if you always give your best, it becomes your average.

You don’t, can’t, and shouldn’t always give 100%, because then there is nothing left for you; nothing left to recharge from. If you eat 100% of the grain, there is nothing to plant for the next harvest. Keep something back so you can grow.
